Eye Infection !!!!

[Brent Sinclair]

This is a bluetick female that has a serious eye infection...local vet has never seen anything like it before, has little idea of what it is or has caused the problem.
She has been on oral ( Nova -Lexin 500 mg twice a day ) as well as IM antibiotics for just over a week and eye meds, (Metacam / Gentocin Oph.Sol / Voltaren drops ) does not seem to be getting any better.
Any help would be appreciated..
Thanks

Don't know if it will work the same on your dog as it did mine but it cheap put 2table spoons of local honey in to 2 cup hot / boiling water (has to be hot enough to break the honey down). Let cool to room temp. Flush out the eye with it two to three times a day my dogs eyes looked 3 times worst then yours. the next day I could see it clearing up by the 3rd day gone. Don't know what my dog had but most the time I will play doctor before I go to the vet if I think I can fix it.
