Nurse Lou's Summer Comes into Larkmead Cholsey, Wallingford with a sore eye


Summer belongs to Lou one of our vet nurses at the Larkmead Cholsey/Wallingford branch. 


Her eye became very sore after she ran through some bushes whilst out on a walk. 










Lou brought her into Cholsey to see Vet Susie who put some fluorescein dye in her eye to look for any damage to the corneal surface. The dye stains up bright green if there is damage and you can see in the picture that Summer has quite a big corneal ulcer. 

Susie then used local anaesthetic to check Summer’s eye further to make sure no foreign body was in the eye. Nothing was found.


 Summer was put on eye drops to soothe and help heal her eye and also some pain relief tablets as corneal ulcers are very painful. She is feeling much better now.
