He said that it looks like there is an infection behind the eye pushing it out.
Vet mentioned it could be a microplasma infection
Eye drops don't seem to be doing anything, her eyes looks a bit worse
That’s really disappointing. I’m sorry. Hang in there. Give Buggaboo cuddles for me.Thanks again Wyorp Rock, I'm keeping the distilled water and the non iodized salt with my chicken emergency stuff. Need to get a good jar for storing the saline after I make it when I do need it.
No e-mail of test results from the lab, I was hoping they had just been busy would get it to me today, but now I think they just didn't do the culture (miscommunication, or not enough materiel to work with? I am still not exactly sure what the other test was called)). I am upset because this test was supposed to tell us what the infection is, and I've had her hang on for ten days of suffering that could have been avoided. I hope that next week my vet will not have jury duty next Monday, and she calls me this Thursday so we can regroup and battle plan.
Now I am off to put an eye drop in Buggaboo's eyes. I'll update when I get more info.
