Hi,
Would any of you have any advice or tips to make life more comfortable for Ruby with her poorly eyes? She has had sore eyes since i got her & has been diagnosed with "dry eye",in the early days it was lots of trips to the vets,he went so far as to have her in,anesthetised & he removed any stray eye lashes back in May last year,with no difference. that was followed with ointments, with no difference until Feb of this year when he put her on steriod eye drops & the same op to remove stray lashes(even tho it made no difference before)it was around this time i changed vets & started taking her to an eye consultant in early March & every 6 weeks since.
The good news is she has lost no sight,however the drops we have from him are no longer helping-we were there yesterday( a 7 hour round trip)& her poor eyes have been so sore today,its been heartbreaking as there has been nothing i could do to help her apart from her Maxitrol drops,& ointment & viscotears.I resorted to extra choccie drops & cuddles with me in tears. She has 2 different drops twice a day,ointment 3 times & viscotears in between.Im really sorry for the long post but i thought it best to give background(She also has SM) I cant bathe her eyes as i would be washing her drops out.
All advice welcome,she can/is only opening them approx 1mm so she's either squinting or has them closed
