Note to self: Brian= 20.5lbs @ 7 months and 1 week.

My Brian has had eye discharge and was somewhat squinting with his left eye for 3 days. The squinting would come and go. Bf said that he's fine, just give it time. So I reluctantly gave it time. But today, when I woke up, I found his left eye to be discharge-y and cloudy. I panicked, afraid that he was going blind in one eye!

So for a peace of mind, we rushed him to the vet today and she performed intra-occular pressure: numbed his eye, tested the pressure of his eye by poking it with a special tool. She also performed fluorescein eye stain to check if there were any scratches on his eye, etc.

Results? Nothing seemed wrong. She determined that it might be some sort of trauma to the eye as the white of his eye was a bit red.

She prescribed Neomycin and Polymyxin B Sulfates and Dexamethasone Opthalmic Suspension (anti-bacterial/anti-inflammatory eye drops). One drop, twice a day for 7-10 days. 7 days if it's better that day. We were asked to return if it's not better after 10 days.

I'm guessing the trauma might be from Ein and Brian playing, as Ein sometimes licks Brian's face/eyes, sometimes accidentally poking his eye(s) with his silly nose. Who knows...but I kind of laugh because it's like we went to the vet to make me feel better instead of Brian, who is perfectly fine.

My poor Brian:

Darla scared me like that once too. We were walking her and I noticed some blood trickling from the corner of her mouth. I completely freaked until I realize she had just bit her tongue. LOL

Yikes! That would scare me too! We hope Brian's little eye is better soon.
