Did Lady have this in one eye for a long time before it spread to the other eye? Also does this mean it is contagious? Would my other dog or possibly me start to suffer from dry eye? I talked to my coworkers cousin, and he suffers from dry eye. He says he is completely miserable if he doesn't put drops in his eyes many times a day. I am assuming this would be the same feeling for dogs. I am going to talk to the foster mom today when I get out of work. I want to do what is best for the dog, and it sounds like the dog might need to be in a home where the owners can take care of it throughout the day with drops. If it was me, I wouldn't want to go more than an hour or two without drops.
I did read that there is a surgery for this, how much does the surgery cost and what are the risks? Would this surgery take care of one eye and in turn prevent it from happening to the other eye? |
