Alex has what looks like a stye on his lower lid.  Do you guys know of anything that might help?

I remember getting warm compresses when I had a stye as a kid.   Zora and Max-angel had them on the upper lid.   Both ran their course and went away.

Thanks, David, for your input.

Poor Alex. Does it seem to hurt? The warm compresses is a great idea. I used that on Hallie's bum when she had an anal sac abscess. Hope it clears up soon! Love that sweet face of his!

You can use a warm compress of home made eyewash. A pharmacist can find the Boric Acid powder for you and you mix it with sterile tap water. Boil one quart of water and add one tablespoon of boric acid; let it cool; use with a clean cloth compress on the eye and give bacon by mouth, two strips per session. (Nurse Zuzu made me add that part  :grin:  ).

ouchie - I remember getting sty's too when I was a kid...how is it today?

[Spanish Teckels]

Poor baby.  We too use the boric acid compress like Leslie and Zuzu - but never with bacon.  Isn´t bacon supposed to go make everything better? We think crispy fish strips help too.  Hope he is better soon.

Poor little guy.  I hope it's much better today.  Please let us know how he is doing.
