Sorry to jump in here but I may be able to help. Chunksmama and I used the same Ophthalmologist in Medford! NJ. His name is Dr. James Clinton, Animal Eye Clinic, 204 Medford Mt Holly Rd., Medford, NJ. 08055. Phone is 609 654 0300. Dr. Clinton is still Lucy's Ophthalmologist and we see him 2...

What a great picture! Gorgeous babies you have there!

Great news!

Thinking of you and we will be keeping Banks in our prayers tonight. Please continue to keep us posted.

"It came to me that every time I lose a dog they take a piece of my heart with them, and every new dog who comes into my life gifts me with a piece of their heart. If I live long enough all the components of my heart will be dog, and I will become as generous and loving as they are." -...

I have one. He is incredibly talented. Process was great and didn't take long. He will communicate with you and tell you how many projects he is working on so you will have an idea how long the process takes. You won't be disappointed.

Wishing you all the best. How did Buddah do? I can relate. Lucy needed emergency surgery once and I could barely stop crying long enough to ask questions. Thankfully the surgeon was understanding and was touched that i loved my dog so much. Either that or they marked the words "CRAZY" next...

I can understand why you are so upset. Did the vet mention what is causing the irritation? Eyelashes turning inward (distichiasis), entropian? Did he mention what the surgical plan is?

Yea, I think a year is a more that a fair "trial"! Since I am such a believer in the glucosmine/chondrortrin supplement for a dog with arthritis I would give it one more try with a different brand. I would think 2 to 3 months should be a good time indicator that it is working or not! Sherry...

I use cosequin (I get it at the vet) and I noticed an improvement in Lucy and I would be hesitant to take her off this product. She had knee surgery as a pup and has developed some arthritis in her knee. She is 4 now but the arthritis started shortly after her surgery. Anyway, whatever you...

Pick up some BLINK at the drugstore. It will give your pup some relief while you figure out what exactly is going on. Lucy had surgery too for a condition called distichiasis and developed dry eye. Like baby duke commented once you figure out what is wrong and treat with the proper meds your...

Lucy started off with cyclosporin (compounded in a local pharmacy). She was on that for quite some time. Then the specialist added tacrolomis to see if she would respond better or not at all. So for a period of 6 months or so we would use cyclosporin twice a day for a week or two and then...

I would consult a opthamologist for sure. The goop could be because of an abrasion/irritation, infection even a condition called dry eye. You can buy an over the counter product in the drugstore called BLINK. My vet opthamologist recommends it for my Lucy. Use it a few times a day and see if...

I only had a minute to log on and I came right to this thread to check on our Buddy, Duke. Keep up the good work Duke. Keep eating, resting and doing everything Mom needs you to do. We will keep you in our prayers!

Sorry to hear this. Feel better big guy. We love you!
