Hi Everybody.
Thank you for your concern over Ruby and this is just to bring you up to date on what is happening. The vet put some green liquid into her eyes and he tells me she has ulcers on her eyes. The looked really painful and she could hardly open them. Apparently the light is painful for her.
He prescribed painkillers and some drops that have to be given three times a day to repair the Conjunctiva. She has more drops that need to be given five or six times a day to treat the ulcers. And so I have diligently given her the care she needs and cleaned her eyes every time I administer the drops.
I took her back to the vets last Thursday and the green liquid was put in again and although there is some improvement they are still not right. We have more medication for her and she is still on pain killers and I have to take her back next Thursday for another check up.
I have everything crossed that she will be much improved and feeling better in herself. If she is not improved then the vet says he will refer her to an opthalmagist for further treatment, which is called an Corneal debridement.
Please cross your fingers fo us and hope she will be fine. She is only four and such a beautiful dog.
More tomorrow...
Hugs xx
Sending good thoughts for Ruby! It sounds like you are doing everything possible to help her along with her treatment. Hopefully the eye drops will do their work and heal the ulcers.
ReplyDeleteOn no-poor Ruby. I hope she has some improvement soon so she’s out of pain.

Poor Ruby, it must be dreadful for her and you of course. How lucky she is to have such a caring owner to look after her. Hope things improve really soon.
ReplyDeleteOh. Poor Ruby. It makes sense that she is feeling miserable and I am sure you are too with being worried about her.
ReplyDeleteHope the new medication produces the necessary results.
Hugs to you both.
