Cooler morning air helped him when he had active ulcers. I remember one hot, humid night that I gave in to his desperation to go walking. His eye became so dry and agitated that his third lid popped out. I thought he had cherry eye. It went back in when his eye calmed down.
When I first joined YT, there were more members whose pups suffered dry eye and had to have daily drops. Corneal ulcers are always a concern.
Continuing to pray for you and little Max. Let us know how things go at the doctor on Tuesday. |
When you saw your Max for the 1st time, did you realize, "He's a Max"?
My best friend came to see him, and she took one look at him and said, "He's a Max!" So, since we are long time Beatle fans, I named him "Maxwell's Silver Hammer".
I'm so sorry that your Max had eye problems. The Congenital Lacrimal Gland Aplasia is truly scary. Our Vet has us trying Tacrolimus drops on the advice of an Ophthalmologist at Purdue in West LaFayette, IN in an attempt to see if there is any tissue that the drops might stimulate tear production. And we have to put Puralube artificial tears in his eye, 4 times a day to keep the eye moist.
Thank you so much for your prayers formy little Max and for me.
I will definitely post after Max's appt. at the Vet tomorrow morning.
