Hi my name is Yvonne and I have a yellow 5 year old female IRN. Today, she seemed very quiet and has been in her bed all day and appeared to be 'sleeping' - which is totally out of character for her. She is usually quite active and social. I presumed she may have just been tired and worn herself out yesterday, so I just left her. After some time, I decided to take her out and have a look, and have noticed her left eye is all puffy, swollen and weepy. She can open it a little bit but not much.
What should I do?? I'm trying to keep a level head and not panic ... should I wipe it with a cotton bud? leave it? call the vet? I'm kinda losing the plot a bit here!!
PLEASE HELP!!!!

Unfortunately, Miss Bobbi didn't make it through the night =(
I couldn't afford to take her to the vet until today (pay day) and they wouldn't look at her without the money first.
We had a little funeral for her this morning. I even made a little cross and put it on her grave.
I already miss her like crazy. Just miss having her squawk in the mornings to wake up and have breakie, I miss having her boss me around in the kitchen ...
sorry I can't write much, I cant stop crying!
ps. Sorry I wrote it up twice, I didn't know what section to put it in and I was kinda panicking a bit and wanted/needed an urgent reply
