I personally take several drugs for dry eyes and they are very expensive.
Let us know what the outcome is as this could be helpful for all of us in the future
No, I meant cyclosporine just as I typed it. Yes it is an immune suppressant medications. Dry eye in Yorkies - also called keratoconjunctavitis sicca or "kcs" for short is an inherited autoimmune disease. The top of the line treatment is cyclosporine A ophthalmic soliton 1% or 2%. Teddy is on 1% twice a day to one eye and once a day to the other eye. Without the stimulant, they can get eye ulcers and other issues.
