Hello all,

I'm currently sitting at the emergency vet with my sphynx mix Batwing. When I got home from work a bit ago his eye was red and inflamed with lots of discharge. Waiting for the vet. Lair prayers needed.

I'm sure you have found out what's going on.
I sure pray it is something simple. What did you
find out? Will be praying for him.

Sending healing vibes to Batwing! Poor little boy. After all he's been through in his past now this again.(and lucky little boy for having you as his mommy now). Hope the vet knows whats going on and can solve the issue with some meds or something.

Please keep us posted!

Thanks for all the support. I was at the vet till around 2 am this morning. They put dye in his eye to check for scratches and ulcers and found nothing. They then looked under his third eyelid for a foreign object and it was hard for them to see anything. I was sent home with antibiotics as the doctor believes it is probably done sort of infection. I'm still not very confident of that as he was fine before I left for work. It seems odd that a infection would come on so quickly. I'm in contact with my regular vet about the issue currently.

An infection so suddenly seems a bit odd indeed. On the other hand, sometimes an infection comes up real quick. Hope the antibiotics will help Batwing and hope your regular vet can say something about his eye! Keep on sending healing vibes.

If the discharge is yellowish then it most likely is an infection. Let's hope that is all it is and the antibiotics do their job. Your normal vet might also recommend ointment.

Sending you and Batwing well wishes.
I had this happen once with my peterbald, Loki. Came home from work and it looked like his eye exploded. They didn't find anything either.
Hope he heals up well.

Well our Dr gave batwing a pain reliever eye med to add to the antibiotic. The antibiotic is supposed to show dramatic improvement with in 48 hours. If it doesn't then we definitely have a problem. In the mean time if it's not some sort of infection then his eye won't be in pain either way.

All paws and fingers crossed the coming 48 hours! Hope there will be improvement soon.

Resources are being depleted as Batwing's care is getting more complex and we are preparing for his dental surgery. I can not advertise on here publicly but if interested in donating towards care of Batwing I have a site set up to do so. You are welcome to message me. Thank you.
