Can you pick up polysporin eye drops? That might help in the meantime... until he sees a vet. It's hard to tell, but it seems like something i in there in the corner or it's swollen.

Just on a long shot have you checked his teeth? Just to make sure they aren't too long and pushing on the roof of his mouth.

From the description in Chat this morning the pic isn't accurate. I think MaryCaden is off to the emergency vet to have Ricky pts

I believe the abscess was pushing his eye out and he was in a lot of pain. MC did let him go
I am sorry Mary :grouphug:

Oh Ricky, sweet baby, and MaryCayden, I'm so so sorry about your loss & grief..
I hope I'm not hurting you anymore than you are already, I don't 'sense' ratties but I just had this overwhelming 'I think Ricky's ok with the change', hoping to come back human so people will watch him dance. I think his heart & soul are in dance and there's no greater stage than the human one. I know this is right out of left field but he struck me that way. It's crazy to me, but there it is. Most kids I just feel sad for their parent's loss. This is strange, but rightful.
I hope I haven't distressed you any more than you already are. But if someone told me my kid had a dream and wanted to come back human to fulfill it I'd say "honey, being human is nothing to aspire to", but if you want to shine outside your cage it'd be a benefit I guess.
I just had this overwhelming feeling reading Ricky's post and don't know why, but had it nonetheless...
