I just assumed since the ER vet seven months ago diagnosed Maddie with dry eye, that the tear test had been done. It's pretty routine when a dog has an eye ulcer, isn't it?
That's why I can't understand why Maddie's regular vet is telling her that she doesn't think Maddie has dry eye, maybe just low tear production, when she has never done a tear test. Low tear production is KCS, too.
I makes no sense to me. We are taking about a $15-20 test that only takes a few seconds, not an expensive, invasive test.
That's why I suggested a referral to an ophthalmologist at the vet school 45 minutes away. It doesn't seem like Maddie's current vet is that knowledgeable about ophthalmology.
