Hi all, thanks for your input. The vet said the white thing is a like a corneal scab (ulcer?). She said he's thin. She could not see to the back of the eye to test his sight because the injured area blocked it, hence probably blind. She prescribed amoxicillin (like you said), tobramycin drops...
Hi all, it doesn't look like he's healing. They eye still has that hard white object protruding from it (I cant tell if its a piece of corn lodged in the eye, or a mycoplasma growth). The eye is still producing some clear gunk, but no more yellow opaque gunk. He is still chatty but he didn't eat...
