Nelly (2 years) is currently in the ICU at the local VCA.
She has seen an Ophthalmologist, full disclosure we haven't spoken directly to eye doc yet while we face seizure issues.
Apparently she has been diagnosed with an eye ulcer, entropian. Eye doc recommends removing part of the lid and cryosurgery to prevent lash regrowth.
Only eye issues she has had to date are allergies, maybe one infection when she was a puppy. I'm concerned that this injury may be more related to a recent stay in a kennel (dog play) and/or the recent seizures.
She takes a daily zyrtec for allergies and is on limited ingredient diet. Both eyes are goopy in the am on waking, but a quick wipe to the outside of her eyes and wrinkles with a baby wipe leaves them fine for the rest of the day. Also, whenever she goes to the vet she gets so excited that her eyes run bright red and we've had to explain to the docs more than once that it's just excitement and that ten minutes prior they were perfectly white.
I guess I'm afraid that this unexpected opthalmology consult is premature and that the perceived convenience of wrapping the entropian surgery into a potential MRI/tap procedure is a hard sell.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
