I agree with Dottiesykry that a cone would be a good idea to keep Baxter from pawing at his eyes when he has the drops. When I had to give Max drops for his eye ulcers, I held him and gave him lots of should rubs, in addition to keeping him in a cone. That seemed to help.

My baby has just recently been running into things, one after the other. I try to make noises at all times and he follows me around pretty well. But most of the time he's walking around the house like he's in high grass, BIG steps and very slowly. |
I found this article that states that medical management helps short term, but ultimately, surgery will likely be required:
