Baby Dragon Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 (edited) He has hay in his eye, it's a thin piece about 4mm long. I tried getting it out with my finger and it just made it go down into the pink bit (his eyelid) but it's back up on his eye now. If I leave it will it come out on its own? He was pawing at it at first but now he's not doing that anymore, but I can still see that it's there. Thanks Edited June 11, 2009 by Baby Dragon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puggy_puggy Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Do you have any saline drops that you can flush it out with? Try pushing it towards the inner side of the eye. If you leave it in there it is more of a risk of damaging the actual eye or inflaming the surrounding tissue. I would make sure that there is not damage to the eye from it (scratches/ulcers) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baby Dragon Posted June 11, 2009 Author Share Posted June 11, 2009 I just went to do it and it's now under the bottom eyelid in the pink bit again Do I still try the saline? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullbreedlover Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 I just went to do it and it's now under the bottom eyelid in the pink bit again Do I still try the saline? Can you dip a cotton bud in the saline and try to roll it out with the bud. just being careful of the eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baby Dragon Posted June 11, 2009 Author Share Posted June 11, 2009 I dont think I have any cotton buds... I have tissues, will they work? He doesn't seem bothered by it anymore, he was pawing at it a lot at first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't seem bothered by it anymore, he was pawing at it a lot at first bunch up the tissue (dont soak it) so you have a tip to it and see if you can gently wipe it out . can you roll his lid down. wipe towards you if possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dianed Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Hope you got it out?? I just use a piece of tissue wound up but the saline wash may do the job. I ve had grass seeds and they usually go to the corner of the eye over night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
