What is the issue you are dealing with?

She was kinda feeling sluggish earlier because they hurt but she has since eaten, gotten her injection and has gone outside for a bit.

If she squints or shows any further sign of discomfort in the eye, it would be wise to have the vet stain her cornea to see if it got scratched.
I looked at Jack the other day and he had a plant frond stuck to his eyelid and it was sticking out in front of him like an antenna! Silly boy.

Re: Visine or sterile saline solution
We rinsed it a few times last night with the sterile solution. This morning her eyes were basically matted shut, but we got a warm cloth and gently run over the outside and got her eyes open and rinsed one more time. She hopped out of bed and out the doggy door she went to go potty and then in as quick as she could for breakfast and her injection. Lol. Now she is back in bed snuggled with her daddy sound asleep. =). So I'm a happy mommy again, my baby feels good again.
Thanks for the advice and the link. I really appreciate it.
