Jackson eyes are swollen

[Blueberry2223]

My Jackson eyes are swollen how can I help him. We are giving him warm baths and showers but once it starts going down they just become swollen again what do I do. We are going to see if we can see a vet tomorrow.

Sorry to read, see, hear that.

How long have you had him?

Could be a Vit A deficiency or a bacterial infection.

 

[Lathis]

Yes, that looks bad. As Bushbaby said, infections or nutrient deficiencies are common causes for eye issues. Vitamin A deficiencies are sometimes described as the underlying cause, but it can be easy to overdose your cham on Vitamin A.

A vet visit is in order. They may have to do some bloodwork to determine what the underlying issue is.

We are taking him to the vet at 4:30 today so all we can do is hope right.

Excellent. Keep us posted on what the vet says.

The vet gave us a bottle of antibiotics and drained his eyes.

They are 3 months old so I don't think that is the problem.

the age of the light doesn´t matter, if the light are constantly and too close to the animal without enough shade they will get swollen eyes as yours have
