Cheers bosun

Hope so paulus...hate to see him in any discomfort...best case scenario now is blind in one eye or worst lose the eye completely....just bad luck i suppose...was only a matter of time before he came a cropper hittin cover like a kamikaze pilot..!! On the up side he couldve done a lot worse ,so just have to wait an see how things progress..cheers mate gravedigger

Just back from seeing the eye specialist at the vet an its not good news,she conducted all sorts of different tests flushed his eye with dye again then got a right good look in the eye....unfortunately the thorn had pierced the eyeball an its infected..got him on right strong antibiotics now to try an kill off the infection..even if the infection subsides hes gonna be blind in that eye...if it doesnt clear up considerably by monday then hes gonna have to have his eye removed...to say im gutted for him would be an understatement..hes only just turned three..again thanks to all who replied with

Thats exactly the way it looks paulus...so hoping between the painkillers an the eye drops it clears up without too much problems or pain for the dog...the vet hes seeing tomorrow morning specialises in optical damage/problems (recommended by a vet in the same practise) so fingers crossed everything goes smoothly....hate seeing the dog in discomfort...although he was quick enough to get in amongst the tuna laced with painkillers !!!

Nice lookin pup mate..all the best with it.. -
Well its back to the vet tomorrow , dog is opening his eye now though it looks kinda cloudy but not leaking any puss or similar stuff ,think the painkillers have left him a bit doped up...hes not his usual alert self think its a mix of medication an bein sore...so fingers crossed for tomorrow cant wait to get him out an about again...thanks again to all who took time to offer advice, appreciate it..cheers, gravedigger

Beddy crosses suit me perfectly...seen lots of different crosses run lots of different quarry but just something about the beddy cross appealed to me...thats why i have one myself (currently laid up with an eye injury)...
-
Would think it could maybe take a rabbit an still be stock steady...any decent lurcher will do this an collies are not short on brains so i wouldnt see it bein a problem mate...

Bred a litter of these years ago an gave my mate one...ended up a big fast strong dog...27 1/2 tts an took anything you aimed him at...especially nasty towards foxes....dont know why more folk dont have them...atb..gravedigger

sounds like it was lucky then mate if you can class it as lucky know what you mean paulus...was preparing myself for the worst...so was more than relieved with the outcome..cheers gravedigger

Thanks for all the replys lads...al keep an eye (no pun intended) on him ...thanks again..gravedigger

it wasnt right in through his eye..from what i can see hes scratched his eye an it stuck in on the lining of the eye...didnt show any discomfort when i removed it an hasnt been pawing at it since its been rinsed out..other than the redness an slight swelling hes not showing any discomfort...first time ive ever had a dog injure his eye though...thanks to paulus an tj jones for advice as well..
