Yorkie with possible KCS aka Dry Eye?? Hello everyone,
I'm looking for some feedback to help my beloved Yorkie, Lola. Lola is about six years old. For as long as I can remember (although I'm not sure if she had it as a puppy), her right eye is constantly closed (looks like its painful to open, there is a yellow/white mucus, the white of her eye is red and the brown has a gray tint to it. I've taken her to the vet numerous occasions and have tried perscription eye drops that havent helped. I also used articial tears and now recently trying refresh celluvisc thick eye lubricant drops - which seems to help- but they need to be used every hour to keep her eye open. The doctor thinks it is dry eye. Here are my questions:
1) Does dry eye only affect one eye?
2) Has anyone found a miracle eye drop/solution that has made a significant difference?
3) How do I know if my baby is blind her right eye?
4) Could it be something other than dry eye? I've read about scary causes like herpes and corneal ulcers!!
5) Do opthamologists for people usually see animals? are there ones for dogs?
Please any feedback would be greatly appreciated. It pains me to see m little girl in so much pain. She is the sweetest, best thing in my life. |
