[Gpdd] HEALTH: Nugget, hay poke

[Judi Lainer]

See, you can put some artificial tear ointment in that eye to protect it while it heals.  Not drops but ointment.

Her eye looked okay except for the lower lid was red.  She seems fine otherwise so I put her back in her home and will check her throughout the day.  I will watch for signs of infection and take her to the vet if needed.  Is that okay or should I take her to the vet now?
