Ben has conjunctivitus

it came up really quickly. his poor eye is swollen and gunky. has to have drops 4 times a day. thats fun

Poor Ben. Hop it heals up quickly and no-one gets it (lots of hand washing and his own towel are a good idea)

apparently milk is supposed to be good at clearing it up or cold tea bags lol but best bet is to wipe from nose to outer eye once with a cotton wool ball soaked in cooled boiled water use each ball only once though

Poor Ben

George had this a few months ago...and yes I can sympathise with the drops. He didn't like them and he didn't get them 4 times a day

Oh I hope he gets better soon!! It's horrible, I had it really bad in both eyes a couple of years ago... I didn't know what it was, I thought it was just something in my eye until it got real bad, ended up at the Emergency room and the Dr said it was the worst case he'd ever seen somehow I managed to not give it to Aaralyn.. thank goodness! It was horrible to try and keep from having contact from her though

Give him a big kiss and tell him I hope he gets every thing he wants until he's better

awww poor Ben hope it clears up soon hunny xx

Big 's and 's to little Ben,i hope this clears up really quickly for him poor little man it must be so uncomfortable for him.
"get well soon Ben"xxxx

Awww poor little might!

Lots of cuddles

awwwww thanks ladies for all yr cuddles

ive been bathing his eye aswell as doing the drops and there is a difference, but its so hard to keep him from rubbing it.

aww the little sweety! i had conjunctivitis continuously all thru my childhood! mainly because i had pet rats & mice and it was from them.
my youngest cat has it at the moment too!

the best thing for it is to bath it in milk.wipe it with milk on a cotton ball and then use a eye bath to blink in the milk.

Hope ben isnt suffering to much and gets beter soon.

aww porr Ben hope he gets better soon hunnie x x x

I used a damp kitchen towel folded up into a square and held it to George's eye. It seemed to take away the soreness a little and he seemed to scratch it less.

Hope it clears soon for him x

thank you all for all yr hugs
