The surgery has worked out well for us, too. Our little buddy’s eye is clear as can be. Before the surgery, his cornea looked terrible. We had to cancel our summer vacation this year to stay with him and administer all the medications. We got pretty good at getting the drops in from behind his head before he knew what hit him. Then he’d shake fiercely and snort every time — two or three times a day.
Do you have to continue giving him eye drops? The doctor says Aubrey has an auto-immune disease that attacks her corneas and we give her a drop of two different auto-immune suppressing drugs a day (each eye, just to be safe). The last set of ulcers were much deeper than the doctor expected, so the micro-vascular patch is visible, but only if you are looking for it.
Her vision is not as good as it was before. She is very prey-driven and now she sees every leaf skittering down the street as prey, but it’s pretty cute seeing her bark, bounce and try to chase blowing leaves When I let her catch up with one, she snorts in dismay and goes on to the next leaf, which she KNOWS will be a mouse.
