Default Eyes

Thanks for the info. So glad that glaucoma seems to be ruled out. That was the main thing my vet said was a danger with cataracts and why I did the surgery. His other eye had an immature cataract at one year old when the other one was surgically treated, but at 9 years old that eye has remained constant.
As for uveitis, that is what made me visit the vet for my dog’s eye, that was treated with some drops, but that is the eye with the surgically treated cataract.
I agree with you that uveitis should be possible to treat, unless that it comes with the cataract....but I did not think that was the case with my dog. I understood that uveitis was an infection or inflammation that drops would fix. I really do hope that some specialist will come up with a solution other than removal of the eye. But I am not a vet!
I do have experience with human Physicians and they sure do not know everything and sometimes we have to be our own advocates and keep trying to get the right diagnosis and treatment!
You are such a good doggie parent to be doing all this, and I pray that your efforts will be rewarded. And thanks so much for the updates, these do help others here who may have similar issues.
