Need fast help with Bailey
A picture wouldn't hurt. I wouldn't know squat about it but the others will.
I was thinking of you last weekend because we had a newly one eyed cat at the shelter that had been picked up by animal control. The IDIOTS at the vet didn't even sew the socket shut. The poor, poor cat. Then, the kennel tech who is stupider than a rock was putting the BNP in the WRONG EYE.
I don't know what to tell you about the pus other than to give the Baytril a try and stay on top of GI issues. Her eating and gaining weight can't be a bad thing. Could hairloss be from all the wiping and the BNP?

I think moisture and ointment would cause the hairloss. Snowflake had intermittent runny eye, and both the moisture and his meds made him lose his hair. It grew back. Poor Bailey!
KM, We have had piggies with eye problems and the best stuff we used was gentamicin sulfate ophthalmic solution made by FALCON.
The worse case was Bright eyes. Her eye was filled with blood, and the size of a dimesticking out of her head. I felt so bad for her and the oitment that Claire told use to use so her eye wouldnt dry didnt really work. So what I did was 3 X a day, I put 1 drop in her eye and then the oitment to kind of keep the drops in.
4-5 days later her eye was back to normal. This is definately the best suff for eyes I have ever used.
We had a few that started to have a cloudy eye, and this stuff cleared it up fast.

It is watery. Just use 1 drop. Bright eyes was so bad I decided to use both , the drops and the oitment . Theoiment basicall to keep the drops in and let it work better.
I told our vet what I did and she thought that was a great idea. Well, anyway it worked great.
I cant tell people enough of how well this has worked for us.

It works very well. You want to use it in the smallest useful quantity, though; it's oxytetracycline and you don't want them rubbing their eyes, then licking very much of it off their paws.
Our vets usually start us with Falcon/gentamicin. Then, if that doesn't do the trick, or if a little extra strength or durability is needed (the ointment stays put longer), they'll give us the Terramycin. We don't use it unless we really need it.
Our vets tell us to use the drops every 4-6 hours (or do the best we can). Let them soak in there if possible for a minute or two, then apply Terramycin to the affected area very sparingly. The Terramycin not only works on its own, but it should help seal a little of the gentamicin in the affected area as well.
