The problems seemed to go away. However, as stated in my OP the problem came back. I am giving 1/4 in. strip of Cyclosporine once a day and using Vetropolycin ointment 3 times a day. 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.
