| Eye Ulcer Ava has a horrible looking ulcer on her left eye. It turned blue and closed last night so I took her to emergency at 3am. Not fun. Of course the vet wanted to do xrays, and thought she was wheezing and needed blood work , fecal test, etc etc! She was in there for 7 hours and they didn't feed her. Anyway, she is home and glad to be here. She is eating well and Dr. Blake saw her today and prescribed a solution for her eye. |

| Poor Ava, I am sorry to hear she is not feeling well. Did you vet advise the possible cause for Ava's condition? Bless your heart, you've had a hard day and lost sleep with your emergency vet visit! Schatzie sends hugs to both of you!

| I've never seen an eye ulcer. Do you know what causes them? I'm glad she's home and hope the prescription makes her all well again!

| Thanks everyone. The western emergency vet said it was a virus that caused it. The homeopathic vet said it was caused by the vaccine she had on Friday. It was her bodies way of rejecting the vaccine and it was her "reaction" to it. She is already much better. |

| So glad she is doing better. I know emergency vet visits in the middle of night can be scary. I have dealt with ulcers 2 times in my other dogs. One of them was a tiny chi who had eye ulcers so bad they looked like cataracts. They were blue and nasty looking and kept looking worse. The first vet gave me meds and I used them faithfully but nothing changed. I then was at one of those inexpensive shot clinics with my barn cats and told the vet there about the little dog and he was nice enough to give me some ointment for $7 and told me it couldn't hurt but might help. If you can believe it... withing 2 days this little pup who expensive vets had doomed to blindness without surgery, was totally normal again with clear eyes and no more pain. He now is a happy healthy spoiled pup |

| Good news to hear that Ava is feeling better, poor baby!! It is amazing to hear the many stories of the ill effects our fur babies have due to vaccinations possibly being the culprit.

| The vaccine she had was the 3 way Distemper, Corona, and Parvo. I will never vaccinate another dog. I am convinced that they are pretty worthless and do more harm than good. Thank you for your kind well wishes. She is feeling better today and the eye looks better too. |
