| Did the vet take a swab to make sure there was not a bacterial or fungal cause to the ulcer? That is not uncommon either especially if he does not have dry eye.

No, the vet did not do a swab. I will ask about it when we return this week. The eye drops we were given are an antibiotic, so I'm wondering if they would take care of the bacteria or fungus if that is what caused the ulcer. When the ulcer heals, the vet will give us additional drops that include a steroid to help with inflammation. | |

| The antibiotic should take care of it, if it was bacterial but it will not have an affect on fungal infections -- need an anti-fungal for that and that is not normally given unless they swab, look under the scope and know it is fungus. Bacteria is probably the biggest percent chance but I always hate to treat without knowing. They probably noticed other charateristics of the infection that looked bacterial in nature. Hope for continued improvement!
