Thanks everyone.
Send some "power marker training" vibes my way too... CJ sent me the "how to marker train for eye oinment"
Barbara, I just went through 30+ days with a lacerated-eyeball dog whose eye started to become infected despite daily treatment, which was then modified, involving antibiotic drops (two different ones) every hour (each one every other hour) and atropine twice a day.
My day centered around this stuff for all those weeks, but he's OK now.
The relief is just ..... indescribable.
But anyway, hang in there, as I know you will, and keep up the treatment. I know we will all be thinking about you both.
Well, we finished our first course of eye ointment on Tuesday PM, and I woke up this AM to a bit of to find some goop in Falcon's eyes. I had a long, long busy day ahead of me so asked my husband to call the vet. They prescribed drops this time which need to be given 4 x daily which fortuntely, Falcon is tolerating MUCH better than he did the ointment.
The vet also suggested we go ahead and take Falcon to the opthomologist... He said if the infection went away but then came back again there is something reintroducing the infection. I'm stumped - if this means "externally" I can't imagine what this could be. If he means something going on internally...
I am HOPING that because Falcon had a hard time allowing the application of the ointment which at times resulted in what I know was not a perfect dose, that perhaps this infection never really "went away." Please keep the paws crossed for my boy till we get this resolved.
Hang in there Barbara! Sending healing wishes for Falcon.
Let us know when you get in to see the ophthalmologist.
A specialist will really help you figure this out.
Hugs to you and of course Falcon too!

I certainly hear your frustration with the ointment. It’s not a fun process. I really hope it’s some simple environmental thing that will go away quickly. Best of luck with the specialist.
All 12 paws and 8 fingers crossed here for the big guy.
Barbara,
we just got through an eye infection. Less then perfect dosage AND we forgot to put it in several times. When we took the dog off the medication he kept having white goop in his eyes for about two weeks after that and then it went away. Is the goop white? You might want to wait before you spend and arm and a leg for an ophthalmologist.
He said if the infection went away but then came back again there is something reintroducing the infection. I'm stumped - if this means "externally" I can't imagine what this could be. If he means something going on internally...
Please keep the paws crossed for my boy till we get this resolved.
Geez, poor Falcon. Just curious of the color of goop/eyes red and if both eyes are affected again? All else normal with the guy: attitude, appetite, no temp, sneezing, etc? If vet was thinking internal I would imagine they would have done some blood work, does he have allergies?
