Belle's eye >> red growth thing
Newton had the exact problem with his eyes. If you pull the lid back, her conjuctiva is probably very inflamed all the way back. The vet gave me some BNP, and I also found that saline solution (the same kind I use for my contacts) helped him a lot. The vet said it can happen due to allergies, etc. Both of Newton's eyes were affected as well.
Yep, BNP opthalmic seems to be the generic eye "cure-all". I've used it for hay pokes, I used it when Reg had his eye surgery and I used it with Newt's conjunctivitis. It works great, but they hate it and it gets their cheeks all greasy.

Vet said she had inflamed conjunctiva (duh) and prescribed BNP with hydrocortisone (Vetropolycin HC). I'm supposed to dab the ointmnent in 2 or 3 times daily. Just put some in her eye now. He said we should see improvement within a few days. I said I was generally wary of cortisone, but he said such a small amount over a short period of time was nothing to be concerned about.
Thoughts?

I have used that on my girls too. Vet said the same thing about it.
It did help make is somewhat better, but they still have a little blob on the lower eye.

Applied the ointment twice today, per the vet's instructions (2-3 times daily; will do another application before bed). Her eye looks pretty much unchanged. He said improvement should be noticeable soon, so if it's not looking even a bit better by tomorrow night, I'll call the vet again on Thursday.
