The two are deffo interconnected, and if she carries on like this her visual future will be bleak...
I tried bandaging her whole leg with a veterinary bandage bought online, and it stained her leg blue and fell off
I can't put anything nasty tasting on her leg (it's a bit late for that now anyway) as she will probably rub it into her eye...
Last night I carefully bandaged the whole leg with a cohesive bandage for humans and by this morning the bandage was still in place BUT her poor little foot, er paw!!! was swollen. I felt just AWFUL!!
I think I will have to try the cohesive bandage again, but use less of it...
My saga at the v e t's continues - I took Amy-Louise for review yesterday, and she is still lactating..
. The stuff she is on costs £22 per 5ml bottle, but at least she is insured.

Your dogs sure keep you on your toes Moots! The cohesive bandage but less sounds a reasonable compromise anyway. As for Amy-Louise at £22 a bottle
you certainly do need the insurance !
