| Sorry, just now saw this. Please let us know what the vet says. (If it was just the burst blood vessel, that should cause her to keep it closed...they are not painful. Perhaps it was something else irritating her and she 'pawed' at it causing the vessel to burst?) Keep us posted. |

| Ulcers do not look the same as blood vessels. They will appear as small white dots or may not be visible at all. When the eye is "stained" it is done so using flourescene (sp). They look at the eye with a light that helps them see what has been stained. The florescene stains viruses that may be infecting the eye, like herpetic infections, etc. The shape of the virus stained enables them to tell what type it is, how they need to treat it, if it is contagious, etc. I would think that with greenish discharge, it is more likely an infection that an ulcer. |

| Hey...that's better that what it could have been! Of course she clings to you, she can't see as well...for now, you have to be her seeing-eye human. I am sure that this will clear up in no time. And don't panic about the raised pressure...it can be expected w/ a steroid drop. (Why do you think cough medicines say "don't use if you have glaucoma"...yep, steroids in cough med=increased inter-occular pressure.) You will more than likely see it decrease when 1) the problem starts to dissolve back into the eye, and 2) when she comes off the steroid. She will more than likely NOT experience any long term affect since it sounds very much like a temporary situation. Please continue to keep us updated on her progress! |

I found this thread late, as I am now having an eye problem with my girl, who is almost four years old. My heart goes out to you. This is just awful. I wish there was something I could do for you. Kate Take care. Lots of prayers coming your way.
