Thank you for adding this info. I'm just continuing the simplicef and temaril that the vet prescribed until Thursday. Thankfully since the vet did the fluoriscene (sorry don't remember the spelling) test I know that there isn't any corneal abrasions to worry about...but I'm still upset that the optho just said he might have dry eye...I would have preferred to wait until the visit to tell me what's wrong with him then just speculate over the phone
