Picked up my boy today and noticed he has a milky eye (looks a bit like cataracts). Phone vet who wanted to charge me £100 for out of hours treatment - sorry but I am not made of money .... (he dropped down to £70 but its still too much - why do they always get ill at weekend).
So instead did a full examination of eye which resulted in finding a bit of driend up grass stuck in the corner which I duly pulled out. Have got some Brolene from chemist and have already done a drop.
he seems pretty unconcerned - eating, running about etc. I'll probably keep him inside tonight as have indoor run and he can have a fleece bed rather than hay one - less likely to poke himself in the eye again. (Beyonce will have to be a single ladee again for the night).
I can take him to the vet tomorrow but just wondered if anyone had experience of this.
