Magic's eye definitely looks much better now, the fleshy bit much smaller and no more pus. However, he isn't eating properly anymore; I am not sure whether this is a side effect of the Streptacare. If he hasn't eaten by tonight, then I will take him to the vet tomorrow morning.
PS. added on 24/5/2011: Magic recovered fully and has not had a problem anymore since!

Magic - eye abscess
I took Magic to Mark's on Thursday to check him out as he wasn't eating. When on the table, I noticed that his eye was infected and Mark confirmed this. He gave him antibiotics, eye drops and gut motility drugs and we went back on Friday morning. We added Metacam to the mix.
On Friday, there was now also pus coming from the eye, so we are dealing with an abscess. The eye didn't look good and Mark didn't look very optimistic.
On Monday, I took Magic back again. The eye was less red, but still pus there. Mark put him on Streptacare which I inject daily now and I continue with the eye drops and Metacam.
It looks a little better now, but although Magic is still eating his veg and fruit, he isn't eating anything else still. We are due to go back next Monday and hopefully by then, things are looking a bit better.
