ArmaniMan- how did your boy's ulcer go away? with surgery or medication? in the meanwhile is there anything I can do to make her feel more comfortable? She doesn't seem irritated or anything. |
Most eye ulcers can be treated with antibiotic drops or salves prescribed by the doctor. Only ulcers that won't heal (indolent ulcers) require surgery. I cannot believe the ophthalmologist would not take you before Thursday. This is considered an eye emergency. Did the receptionist understand that your dog has a potential ulcer? I would call my regular vet and ask for advice or assistance getting in to see the specialist first thing tomorrow. The problem is that eye can become infected quickly.
