Do you think i need to go to the vets or just watch it? O/h tells me to just keep an eye on it cos its just probably bruised and tells me i am pathetic when it comes to worrying over the dog.
Thoughts?

missed you earlier.I always ask myself what would I do in the circumstances and on this occasion I would definately see a vet.
Dogs like us get various eye problems including detatched retinas, many problems can be put right if caught early enough...ok if there is nothing wrong you have a vets bill for nothing, if there is a problem and by not seeing the vet you have caused lasting damage to your dogs sight you have to live with that thought.

After examining it, the vet said it thinks it is just very bruised and will take a while for it to get back to normal.
Thank god for that!!! I have now told o/h to be more sensible when playing with him - i don't know who is more of the kid, otis or o/h!

I think his eye still really hurts him cos he is only half opening it and squinting. It is still so bloodshot aswell.
Do you know how long approx it might stay like this? As i am a born worrier i want to make sure i take him back to the vets if it doens't clear up soon.

I can't say but guess it will take a week or so, I am glad the vet has seen it. Did the vet mention putting cool compresses on to sooth the eye ? I would boil some water adding a teaspoon of salt to a pint than put it in the fridge till cold.. soak a small piece of sterile cloth or cotton wool in this and with Otis lying next to you gently place it on the eye and hold it there for a little while if he will let you .
