Corneal ulcer Hi.
As well as the Hills food issue I am going crazy about my poor baby who has a corneal ulcer. I also have the flu and not at my best to deal with all this. Bring on the violins.
My dog was squinting in one eye but seemed to improve when I flushed it with saline. My eye specialist in the past said that is often better than chemicals. Anyway I took him to the vet last week and the vet confirmed it was an ulcer from staining etc. He prescribed antibiotic drops which I administered for a few days. My dog kept his eye shut mostly and I assumed that was his way of protecting his eye. He has never rubbed or scratched his eye and does not seem in pain. However yesterday when I looked in his eye it looked red and puffy around the lower lid. So I thought he was reacting to the AB drops and decided to stop them. The vet was out yesterday but I see him this morning. I am so worried about his eye and don’t know what to do. If drops don’t work it seems a corneal graft is the next move. This is a very hard procedure and I don’t want to put my baby through all this. He seems so sad and I feel so bad for him. Has anyone else been through this corneal ulcer issue! I so need help and reassurance. Thank you. |
