Red, Irritated Skin Around the Eye
Hello all,
Libby has red, irrated skin around his right eye. I just noticed it yesterday. His left eye looks normal, black open and not irritated skin around it. His right eye has no hair and red around the eye. He was also squinting it. I put a little saline solution around it. I’m going to keep an eye ( ) on it. If it swells up more I’m going to take him to the vet. I’ll keep you all updated. Also, we don’t know his age because he was adopted but, we think he is around 14 months at the youngest.

This one shows before I put saline on it. He was squinting.

This one is after I put saline on it.

Re: Red, Irritated Skin Around the Eye
This does seem to be a common problem in Russians, if it doesn't get better soon I would take him to the vets as he may need some eye drops to clear it up.

Re: Red, Irritated Skin Around the Eye
Poor Libby, hopefully it heals up quickly. These kinds of eye problems do seem common in Russians.

Re: Red, Irritated Skin Around the Eye
Thank you everyone for the kind words
_________________
Libby’s eye looks a lot better. Yesterday (Friday) the red and swelling had gone down a lot. There is almost no red there anymore. It has stoped swelling and he has stopped squinting . I think the saline solution I put on on Thursday recalling helped, I put more on Friday to help it even more. I’ll keep you updated.

Re: Red, Irritated Skin Around the Eye
Update:
Libby’s eye is completely cleared up! I think the saline helped wash away whatever was bothering it!

Re: Red, Irritated Skin Around the Eye
A relief to hear it's cleared up Libby must be much more comfortable now.
