My daughter has an eye infection
11/07/2008 by Arielle.
It was much easier for the Doctor to look at my daughter’s one swollen eye and make her diagnosis, than it is for me when a dog or cat is brought in with a large swollen lid. They tend to wriggle and possibly even bite or scratch!
When the Doctor told me to use the eyedrops and if there was no improvement, then I was to return within a day or 2 for oral antibiotics as eye infections can be very serious; I just smiled to myself.
These words echoed what I would have said to a client about their pet with a sore eye and even the Choramphenicol eyedrops were exactly the same as the ones I would prescribe.
