Hi everyone.
Dylan was diagnosed with corneal ulcers in both eyes two weeks ago and we were given drops and told to return in 7 days. However, within a few days they had rapidly progressed to being very severe especially one which was very large and deep. He has been on 3 different eye drops since and checks at the vet every 3 days. One eye has healed but the other has not although at each visit the vet says there is 'some' improvement. He trys to scratch and rub his eyes all the time so he has been wearing a buster collar which I didn't want because of his SM but the vet said he would lose his eye if he rubs it at all. He is not a very active dog because of his SM but since this has started he just lays all day in one spot and only gets up for food. I don't know if this is because of the pain he is in, the buster collar or because he can't see very well. I was just wondering if anyone else has had any experience like this and could give some advice. Obviously I am worried sick about him.
