I'm copy & pasting a bit of this from my post on the Introductions board, so if it sounds familiar, bare with me.
It has been a nearly 4 weeks since Puppy originally went to the vet with what looked like a light white film on his eyes and trouble seeing while hunting. I've been giving him 3ccs of Baytol nightly, dabbing Vetrachloracin on both his eyes twice a day, and keeping the humidity down as well as I can with a dehumidifier -- though it is a struggle here in rainy Virginia right now.
He had a nice, healthy shed a couple days ago. I did have to spray him for a couple days with Zoo Med's Repti Shedding Aid. The shed was caught near his eyes.
His left eye was the eye that had ruptured and healed. It was also the eye that was the least affected by the current problem. It is now completely clear. He seems to be using it as his primary eye.
The right eye was the previously healthy one and the one that was very heavily affected. It has gotten worse. There's now a white buildup instead of just a light film. He doesn't seem to be using it.
I will continue to treat him and if we can't make some progress by next week, then I'll call the vet and see what we need to do. Does anyone have any experience with anything like this? Does this look familiar at all? Things seem to be getting worse with the current treatment and I don't want my little guy to suffer through my ignorance more than he has to.
Here are some photos. The clear eye is the left, the goopy one is the right.
The raptured/healed eye and a little missing lip from the previous mouth infection. It sounds terrible, but its a handy little port for administering oral antibiotics.
