I took my baby to the vet today because her eyes were "weeping", and I was
concerned. They took her temperature, gave her an antibiotic, and treatment
for worms(just a precaution). The vet said that she might be coming down with
a cold, she has an eye infection, and a potential upper respiratory(sp)
infection. So now I have a gel that I place on her eyes twice a day, and an
anitbiotic that I give to her by mouth for the respiratory infection. I have
several questions. After I put the gel on her eyes tonight, I fed her, and
she cleaned her plate (like always :-)), then she went to sleep. She woke up
a few minutes ago and although her eyes aren't weeping as bad, they seem to
be sensitive to light, and they are rather watery. I kind of expected them to
be watery, but I still feel concerned... Should this be expected, as this is
only her first night with the treatment?

And also, the vet told me that when giving her the antibiotic orally, I
should put it in the corner of her mouth so I don't damage her windpipe. I
did not have to do this tonight because they gave her a shot of antibiotic at
the vet. I am very very nervous about doing this though, because I don't want
to hurt her... any tips? Or is there a site that I could visit that could
kind of give me a walk-through in this procedure?

Sorry this is so long! Thanks for reading!!
