Baileysmom Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 I seem to remember someone (TX maybe?) asking how Bongo is doing and I dont think I ever really answered :oops: sorry..... For the most part, things are the same - his tumor is visibly larger and is gradually, as expected, causing more discomfort in his mouth. Last night was the first time he refused to eat his food :( the vet said refusing to eat would be the first signs he is getting closer to the end :cry: we did coax him to eat some table scraps :oops: and cheese (which Im sure is not good for him since he still has trouble with a constipation type problem, but we were desperate to get him to eat) anyway - the question I have is, is there a good way to clean "eye goobers" other than just water and a wash cloth? the tumor is large enough that it is "squinting" his eye so it runs alot. I clean it as much as I can, but it seems to hurt if I put any pressure on the lump, and no matter what I do there is dried goop under his eye...... any suggestions?

imported_Kat Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 Make sure you give Bongo lots and lots of cuddles...best therapy ever :wink: For the eye sleepers, saline is about the best I think. With the tumour putting pressure on the eye orbit its just one of those things where Bongo will need his eye cleaned a few times a day I think. *hugs to you and Bongo* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hicksstar Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 Sorry to hear bongo isnt feeling great. In answer to your question with our Bulldogs we use 1 cup of boiled water with 1 teaspoon of cooking salt left to cool then we use this solution and make up pads to wipe, drying the area with a dry make up pad? Not sure weather this will help bongo. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
