My buckling (4weeks) tore one of his eyelids. My question is if this warrants a vet visit & what a vet could do for him? Or if not, should I give him a medicated eye drop to prevent infection? Maybe the same type of stuff you would give for pinkeye?
Ouch. I would clean it (rinse with sterile saline) and give him a shot of antibiotics. I wouldn't put anything on it that could get in his eye or eye stuff into a open wound.
So we went to the vet on Monday. Shot of antibiotics and that’s was it. He said that it wouldn’t be worth the stress to suture it and that they would probably pop out anyways.
I didn’t even ask. Honestly he will just end up a weatherer so I’m not to concerned if it looks weird. His eye duct is clear and everything seems to function like it should.
