Hopefully the tears stimulator and antibiotic can help the ulcer on her right eye. I'm at work so don't have it with me. Will let you know the brand tomorrow.
Bella's left eye wasn't very responsive to light so I'm kinda worried she's partially blind or heading that way. I will have to bring her to a specialist.
I should've had her eyes checked when she was a pup. Her eye area is always stained and if she doesnt shower within a few days, she looks dirty and unkept because of the tearstains. I read about tearstains and how its normal to have them, but noone mentioned anything about the dry eye condition so since I never owned a dog before, I had no clue. I should've known something was seriously wrong. I hope it is not too late and they can still save her eye. She has too much life in her to go blind.
Thanks Yorkiemom and Ladymom!
I brought Teddy ( my other baby) with me to the vet too. I was in a rush cause the clinic was about to close so I didn't bring their harness. Well when Teddy saw Bella with the cone, he ran out of the clinic ( highly unusual cause he never leaves my side). We had four people chasing after him. He ran towards oncoming traffic and into a residential area. I didn't know where he was for half n hour so I just stood in one spot and yelled his name. I thought for sure I was going to lose him forever. Finally he came running out and into my arms.
I was so upset over Bellas eyes and almost losing Teddy, I sat in my car and wept. Talking about a rough day.
I'm in the process of getting pet insurance for them. Yesterday's visit was $300 and all they did was look at her eyes for 10 mins n gave me some ointment. I can't imagine how much a major surgery would cost. *sigh* |
