You'll find a vet on a Sunday, might pay a premium for it but surely worth an extra 30% charge....... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My whippet hits cover and hedges like it isn't there and he has punctured his eye before. he had to be sedated and operated on although i was lucky that it was at the edge of the white and although he has scarring it had no adverse affect on his vision. Yours sounds nasty though and i wouldn't hesitate any longer. It might not be that bad but let a closer examination confirm that. Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites
