[Gpdd] {MEDICAL} - Serious eye problem

[Sobremonte Acres]

My guinea pig had a large seed piece lodge deeply under her eyelid, I
managed to get it out but the eye surface had gone opaque and the
outside of the eyeball was red. It was swollen initially but after i
bathed it with cold tea it went down. How long could it have been in? i
feel so guilty i didn't notice it before but i'm sure i would have
noticed it! 
 
However we took her to the vet as i was concerned about damage and
infection. He said there was an infection and an ulcer on the eye
surface. So he's given us the usual Baytril at 0.5ml twice a day and
drops to be adminstered once four times a day - Chloramphenicol. 
What I am concerned about is that he said if its not better in 7 days
we'll have to consider removing the eye! The operation scares me as i
know they're not good under anaesthetic. Does anyone know of anything we
can given her to help it get better? In the Peter Guerney book it
suggests a brewers yeast tablet twice a day - is this any good? and how
do i administer it? Any help is much appreciated Vicki and Abby

>>I use the Opti-Free Express multi-purpose disinfecting solution.  I
was told from the rodents expert to use it for pets and I've tried that
on for my pet rat and it works great.
