Problem with one eye - advice appreciated!

[Sarnaldn]

I regularly check if my little furry friend is ok and she has everything she needs .
Usually , she sleeps during the day time and gets very active at night time. That is why I always try to interact with her early morning or late evening time.

This morning she was absolutely fine or simply I didn't notice anything wrong with her eye .Then I took her out for a evening playtime session and I noticed that in her right eye there is something like a puss which already partially dried out . Her inner corner of eye is more red comparing to the other side .

I am really concerned about her health , do you think this could something more serious ? Should I wait or take her to vet? I didn't change her substrate or nesting materials , except That for the last 3 days I have been giving her one treat of Nibblots a day . Could this be an allergic reaction to one of ingredient ?

I would be grateful for any info , advice !

Oh my that face. That darling face! From personal experience I would recommend getting her to an exotic vet when you get the chance. My Campbell hybrid and his litter mate both had lots of issues with infections, Your vet can also recommend a course of treatment or things that you can do to help prevent the issue from worsening. She's such a little darling!

She is gorgeous isn't she? I'm afraid I can't tell enough from a photo but I'm sure one of the healthy experts will come along soon. It's more likely infection than allergy probably - but also sometimes they do just wake up with a half open sleepy eye and an hour or so later it's ok. If it's an infection the vet will probably give you some drops.

She is lovely!
She could well have an infection behind her eye which can cause these symptoms so I would say take her to your vet for a check, they will probably give you some drops to put in if that is the case.

Thank you so much ! I love her to pieces !

I used a cotton bud with saline solution to clean her eye ( it was a bit of a challenge ) . This morning her eye looked much better ,there was no sticky film/pus and redness has gone . I feel relief I was planning to take her to a vet soon for a general health check , maybe coming weekend when I will get a transport .In the area where I live the closest vet is 40 min walking away from me ..This could be too much for my little baby especially in this cold weather .
Thank you for advice !

Glad to hear it seems ok now, hopefully it was just a little bit of something irritating her eye then &, fingers crossed, it won't reoccur.
