Shannon_C Posted November 27, 2002 Posted November 27, 2002 I had to take Penny to the vet this afternoon.....she had a tiny spot at the bottom of her eye lid which i thought was a mole, just recently it had doubled in size and got me very worried so i took her in to see the vet who had a look and told me it was a cyst (well that put my mind at rest, thinking it was cancerous). I watched him squeeze the cyst at the back and gently rub it between his fingers then pull it off, Penny didnt flinch a bit....but her eye was pouring with blood which made me feel sick.....the nurse held some tissue against her eye to soak the blood up while the vet put some ointment on a clean piece to stop any infection getting in and then he put some eye drops in, she had to have an injection also. She as got to have Fucithalmic viscous eye drops applied to her eye twice daily across her eye. If there is any sign of redness or the cyst comes back within a week..she as got to go back and have an operation! WISH ME LUCK FOLKS!!! Quote

Hobbit Posted November 29, 2002 Posted November 29, 2002 Keep us updated!! Hope everything comes out okay. Quote
Shannon_C Posted November 29, 2002 Author Posted November 29, 2002 At the moment Penny's eye is fine...there is a little bit of redness but thats to be expected having the drops in twice a day which is probably making it sore for her. Quote
Shannon_C Posted December 8, 2002 Author Posted December 8, 2002 Penny's eye is fine now Mouse. (thanks for asking) Still keeping an eye on her just incase the cyst comes back though but I dont think thats going to happen...no signs of it anyway :) Keep you posted! Quote
Horsefeathers! Posted December 8, 2002 Posted December 8, 2002 Glad Penny's eye seems to be better (I have a Penny, too!). Just keep an eye on it (no pun intended). I know someone with a Cocker Spaniel who had a cyst on his lower eyelid and had it removed. It grew back almost immediately after. On the bright side, they say it's harmless enough and it doesn't seem to bother him. Good luck! :D Quote
bk_blue Posted December 8, 2002 Posted December 8, 2002 I hope Penny is ok and her cyst doesn't come back! Nobby (our Basset) had a cyst in the corner of her eye, but it wasn't doing her any harm and the vet said it was benign, so it just stayed there. :) Quote
