 My girl Precious
Hi, my name is Dottie. How is everyone today? Beautiful weather for Christmas, don't you think. My question is: Precious is a 9 yr old spayed female yorkie. She was diagnosed with dry eye several years ago. The first treatment worked good for a while. Then her eye became very inflammed and she had 3 small ulcers on the cornea. The opthalmologist she had been going to for 3 or 4 yrs said she wasn't responding to the treatment anymore. DUH!! He said to keep doing what I was doing. To me that was stupid because she wasn't responding. I began researching on the internet and I applied some of the things that I learned. I also went to a new vet. She really did help me get her over this hump. She prescribed 2 new meds which helped and I changed all of the eye drops, which also helped. Now she is having a third episode. Has been going on for about 3 weeks. She is so pitiful and her little eye hurts her so bad. I have been giving her all the same things again. A salve antibiotic for her eye, a drop that has cortisone in it, her eye drops and a pain pill. She seems better some days and some days not. Sorry I got so lengthy. I would like to know if ANYONE has had this problem with their yorkie and if so, how did you take care of it? PLEASE.
Looking for all the help I can get. Thanks |
