Possible eye injury?

[MissGuardian]

I just noticed that a part of Stefan's eye don't look like the rest of it. Like it's scraped or something? He's had some porph for a while, and have been checked by a vet several times and they found nothing wrong. So I didn't think much of it..

Anyway, if he has injured his eye, what would the correct treatment be? I'm calling the vet in the morning(2am here), and don't know where I can get an appointment(some are okay and some are great). So I'd like to know how its usually treated. Sorry if I'm not making much sence, I need some serious sleep :?

I tried getting a picture, and this at least show.. Something?

ETA:
I've only had eye problems once, and then it was grey(minor wound), so minimal experience with it..

Mmmm... I can't really see anything. But eye ointment should do.

Just got back from the vet. He has a wound to his cornea and is on eye drops twice a day for 10 days and baytril for 6 once a day. They are wondering if it's something behind the eyes pushing them out since they are so big, but he's always had that. Hopefully this eill help!

If his eyes are evenly "buggy" then don't worry, its the shape of his skull and probably nothing behind it. I am glad you are taking care of his wee injury

That´s what I figured too.. And he´s always had big eyes. I´m glad they are treating it as if it was something more tho, just in case..
Hopefully it will heal well.. Otherwise I don´t know what will happen..(the vet I was to today is not my regular, and my regular vet is leaving for vacation for a month next week :sad3: )

I will always do my best to treat them best possible as quickly as possible if something is wrong. It´s my responsibilty to make sure they have the best life possible :heart:

His eye looks good to me but then I couldn't see anything wrong in your first pic, sorry.

I find it very strange that his pupil is dilated so widely. I don't think I've seen a pic like that. The pupil is usually quite small in photos.
This is a picture of my rat Jazzy. Can you see her pupils? They are much smaller than your boy's.

The vet thought so too, but she couldn't find a reason for it. As far as I know, both he and his brother has been like that since I got them(8 weeks).. She did wonder if he's blind, but he acts like he sees.. It's all very strange really.. And he reacts to the flash in pictures so I don't know?

Do you see the light greyisg spot a bit lower than the center of the eye in the first pic?
