Mar 10, 08 - 6:13 PM 		Poor Zeppys' eye

Hello
I was wondering if anyone out there has had success in curing their chin from psuedomonas?(a bacterial infection,mine has it in his eye) My boy has had it for 4 and a half months now.He has been given Fucithalmic eye ointment, then Chloramphenicol and after a swab to see what was going on we then found out it is psuedomonas and he now has Genticin which I have been using for about a month now. I just feel so sorry for him and want him better.
Thanks.

Hi Kelly, I feel for you - there is nothing worse than a poorly chin, it makes one feel so helpless! I have found that Camomile Tea is magic - which Roger taught me - let the tea bag infuse for about five minutes or so then let it cool. Once cool gently wipe Zeppy's eye. I use Camomile Tea for all my animals not just my chins and it has not let me down yet . I really hope this helps and please keep us informed on Zeppy. Take care and good luck, Liz CCL

Hi Liz - thanks for your advice. The tea bag certainly seems to help with the inflammation and his eye does look better, but Zeppy will need to have oral antibiotics, probably a tablet or capsule to kill the bacterial infection. Can you suggest a 'safe' food probably in a paste or thick liquid form so I can mix the tablet in to disguise it? I don't want to give him a tummy upset. The vet suggested honey,I put a tiny bit on a spoon for him to lick off and he seemed to like it. I know how easily the wrong foods can make chins ill. Thanks in advance for your help.
Kelly.

Hi Kelly, Camomile tea always helps me with my chinnies and my dogs (Thelma & Louise) so I am thrilled it had worked for Zeppy! I would recommend that you put the antibiotic in a little fruit yoghurt (if it is capsule open same and sprinkle contents in the yoghurt or if tablet crush and do the same). Alternatively you can try using a syringe full of camomile tea with a little honey - both these methods usually work. Good luck Kelly. Please do let us know how you get on. Take care, Liz
