We go back Monday.
Are ulcers common in Yorkies? She seems to have this problem in the same eye.  |
Ulcers are common in Yorkies with dry eye. Since they put her on cyclosporine, they must feel she has dry eye as that is a tear stimulator. A simple tear production test will confirm it.
Did you read the link I posted in my other post? It will answer a lot of your questions.
