Possible eye infection?

Hi, looking for a bit of advice. My Bailey has woke up the last few mornings with a lot of "wee men" around her eyes. (No idea what the proper term is for this Wink

).

This also happens during the day. Her whites of her eye are also a little blood shot. Does this suggest an eye infection and should I take her to the vet? Or is there anything I can buy from pet shop or the likes?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Lynn

Thanks for your advice. I went into chemist in Kilsyth to buy the goldeneye ointment and mistakenly mentioned it was for a dog. Well, the wee woman serving nearly had a heart attack on the spot, telling me they couldn't sell it for a dog and all that stuff. However, after checking with pharmacist and pharmasist informing me that they weren't "licenced" for pet care, he said it was OK but obviously couldn't be heard liable if something went wrong. So I got the stuff and have used it for the last 3 days and I can see a difference already. So thanks again for help.

Yeah - guilty here too. I always tell em it's for me but if it's one of the girls on the counter who knows me I make it clear it's for the furries. My vet knows I use this and has hinted he does too but of course could NEVER make that official Wink
