My winter white, Theo, has had problems with her right eye for several months now. I've taken her to the vet three times. Visit 1: Possible infection, given antibiotics via her water bottle. Visit 2: Vet said it could be glaucoma, and they couldn't rule out her losing the eye. Visit 3 (still with no improvement): told that all they could do was monitor her. We said we would monitor her at home, and they seemed happy with that.
Tonight I went to feed her, and she was in one of her hides, really drowsy, reluctant to come out (not normal when I'm offering her food) and her right eye - instead of bulging as it usually has been - was almost invisible, with streaks of blood around it. We are very afraid her eye may have ruptured. She took a morsel of food from my hand when offered, then went into her nest. It's impossible to tell if she's in any pain, but I fear she may well be. I don't like to try cleaning the eye in case I make things worse and cause more pain.
Will try to get hold of the vet out of hours tomorrow morning, but is there anything I can do until then? Really worried.
