Vet Q for Michele

[Stella]

I know you are super busy and so I hate to bother you with my questions, but if you want a short distraction, your advice would be greatly appreciated!

Paris seems to have been having a couple issues in the last day or two. Her eyes are a little red (though they go back and forth between red and not so bad) and they are excreting a little green ickiness that looks like extra sleep. And her right ear is a little pink on the inside. She's acting fine, playing and walking and eating great. Do I need to take her to the vet on Monday?? I have no idea what's wrong with her or if this is normal and her immune system will fight it itself.

THANK YOU.

She'll probably be ok. Sometimes they can get weepy eyes from allergies or just irritants (perfumes, candles, carpet cleaners, etc). It should go away on it's own. She may be getting an ear infection, or it may clear on its own. I'd just give her a nice bath...even just a warm water bath is fine...I'd avoid a really fragrant shampoo...but otherwise anything is pretty much fine. If it doesn't clear in a few days or looks worse, or is affecting her eating/sleeping, then I'd take her to the vet.

Did her rash ever clear?

[Stella]

Yes. I'll give her an oatmeal bath tonight. It seems like it is slowly getting better so hopefully this will help. Thanks!!
