 Cataracts
I am so happy that the eye surgery for your dad's dog was so successful and relatively easy. Although the eye specialist is the best in this area my experience was not so easy. The sight was restored and technically the surgery went well.
But the length and intensity of the post op treatment was very long and tedious for the dog and us. We were administering oral and eye meds up to 17 times per day and the dog had to wear a hard cone for several weeks. Even a year later he is having NSAID eye drops. So in our case this was a big deal, but I wonder if we just had a very cautious vet?? Now my baby who was only nearly two years old at the time has corneal deposits from the constant prednisone eye drops! That also can cause blindness. We were totally unprepared for all this. |
