Question
Elvis is a gp we have had almost a yr, and just recently ive noticed the outer rim of his eye looks kinda crusty, he won't hold still so that i can get a better look, it seems to be getting worse, there is no blood, kinda grey looking, what should i do?

Answer
Hi Pam

It is more than likely that elvis has something stuck in his eye like a grass seed or something similar. The normal thing to do is to wash his eye with saline solution, but if you don't feel you can do this yourself, take him to the vet and they will do it for you.
