First of all, I want to thank Shelagh for suggesting the Polysporin eye ointment. It really helped in the interim and made quite an improvement on the eye. I held poor Emily in my arms all day so that I could ensure she was well hydrated and that her eye was treated.
Jorats, thank you for your support. To all on the forum, Joanne & Shelagh both have met me and I trust their advice & support.
As far as the Reiki reading goes I was hurt and offended by the message. Perhaps in the future these types of messages can be relayed via PM and only if solicited
No harm intended.
As Jorats said, our one exotic vet is not available if she doesn't happen to be the one on call. I did the best I could and got my dear sweet Emily veterinary care as soon as I could.
Now the diagnosis.....the vet suggested that there was something going on inside behind her nasal passages that may have popped the eye out. Despite how the pictures "looked" there were no pieces missing, or signs of other trauma. This morning Emily was having respiratory issues. The vet was willing to try antibiotics, get her comfortable, stabilized and any infections under control and then deal with the eye surgically later. However, we together decided that based on her background, likelihood of underlying health issues and her current state of distress it was likely that she wouldn't recover well or ever be able to withstand the surgery.
Emily was PTS and will be brought home for burial later today.
