The eyes have it
Amie's left eye has off and on been a problem. Last summer it became very red and inflammed literally overnight. And with as precarious as pug's eyes can be I was fearing it was an ulcer. Luckily it turned out to be an irritation due to an already healed ulcer that must have happened before I adopted her. I was given a tube of ointment which seemed to do the trick whenever her eye became irritated but this past week her eye wasn't responding even with twice a day applications. After a quick look the vet was concerned the eye was developing glaucoma which is a medical emergency so he referred us to a dog ophthalmologist. After an incredibly thorough exam, I was relieved to find out it was a more a case of inflammation/infection due to dry eye or keratonconjunctivitis sicca. When your eyes stick out of your head like marbles, there are bound to be some unpleasant consequences as evidence by the number of bug-eyed dogs that suffer from this. I was sent home with two types of ointment and three types of drops which have already made a big difference. And of course having gone to a specialist it made a big difference in my checking account but my puggies are worth it!!!! 0 comments from 0 users
