I went to this last appointment determined to request a consult, but seeing the thoroughness of the exam and talking to the doctor, I decided to wait. Labs are good, so no underlying health issue. Eye structure is good, no scarring. Tear production is good, pressure is good.
If Max's eyelid is not perfect at the end of the 8 days, I will take him to the specialist and have them do the sedation and examination. |
I hope the little guy heals totally. As an aside, I am now a firm believer is Board Certified Specialists. That is the only Reason old Carlo is still around, and the main reason Basil's leg is now like new, no bulge, no limp, no bow, nothing. There are many great vets, but you just can't beat a great specialist. Even for a second Opinion. I know you are a great owner and he will be just fine.
