We noticed friday eveninh our chin couldnt open his eye, got vet appt for sunday. The vet (not our usual as he dont work sundays) said it was an eye infection and gave eye drops and pain relief. He was still eating fine up to this point but, no water intake. So we decided to give some water via syringe.
On monday he was refusing food all to getherand still no water, his eye looked worse and was trying to pull along at his jaw under the sore eye. We called vets back up last night, got an appt first thing this morning.
Our usual vet has took a look at him and has said it is dental problem plus eye infection. We were given 3 options
1) leave things as they are and basically give him pain relief to keep him out of pain. He would still live best possible life.
2) have dental work done, with high percentage he wont make it through or will die in days/weeks due to not eating.
3) put him to sleep (vet didnt recommend this)
Anyone else been in this situation and can offer some advice?
We have found another vet that were going to tonight for a second opinion, although our vet now has been fantastic with rabbit, guinea pig and gerbil we feel it would be best to get another opinion. Thank you
