Eye injury and surgery
Hello. It’s been a horrible day today. We took Beaker to have his long incisor burred on Friday. Friday evening and yesterday he was making lots of squeaking sounds, not usual for him, and rushing around, not eating, seemed to have problems putting bedding in his pouches. We thought he was just a bit freaked out and maybe had a cold. We fed him some soaked oats and broke food up small for him and he ate those.
This morning his right eye is protruding a lot and dry, whole right side of his face is swollen, and on top. My daughter really didn’t want me to take him back to the vet we saw on Friday so I drove an hour to the only exotic vet which was open. They’ve given him 4 days of painkillers and antibiotics (to rub on the eye) and said it’s likely they’ll have to remove it on Thursday.
Just horrible and a big shock and I can’t help thinking it’s to do with his trip to the vet last week - it seems too much of a coincidence.
