I always forget that here in the East, you don't keep a pool open year round.

That happened to my dog, so now use a NSAID instead of steroids for any eye problems.

You are right, the dexamethasone is the steroid. I didn't recognize it at first.

I did not know either until the cataract eye specialist told me on a recheck that deposits were seen in the non cataract eye and they mainly come from steroid use. Ugh! I was using PolyDex from the regular vet for minor eye goop.

Glad to hear that Jackson is on the road to recovery. A nice warm compress will help his eyes to feel better and helps in getting all the green goo out.

Usually it's open already - lol, but my dad had to get a new liner, so it was a process of getting it emptied out, old liner out, new liner in, water back in. lol. He text me and actually said they're doing it today. It was very pricey too! which is why he was holding off for a bit.

Thank you! I think I will do this.

I woke up this morning and at first, I was all YAY because I did not see any green stuff at all. Once we got up and moving, and I put his leash on to go potty, I noticed a bit coming out of his left eye, but not as much, so I think it's just getting out whatever is left.

Hopefully within 3 days, they will be 100% *crosses fingers*

The redness definitely went away though!

Happy Jackson is doing better, just wanted to mention that my Charlie had
a eye infection last summer and my vet put him on meds for his teeth..it was greenish but only in one eye. he is older and does have some that are bad sending well wishes to your little guy.

Jackson's eyes are 100% clear.
