Hi Lisa,
Re Gomez's eye problem.
The first time his entire eye went cloudy over night and was noticeably
bigger than the other eye so I took him to the vet especially as he went for me
when I tried to pick him up, which isn't like him at all, so I thought he
might be in pain and he is an elderly gentleman.
The vet dropped some dye in and couldn't see any damage, but also couldn't
see into the eye, because of the cloudiness, that's when he went on the
maxitrol. The next day he went back to see how he was getting on, and a different
vet (who I trust a bit more) shone the light and could see through the
cloudiness and suggested the gluacoma drops because his eye was noticably larger
than the other one.
Both eyes are the same size now one is just a bit misty, but when I started
slowing down how much medication I was giving him, the bad eye puffed up and
went foggy (but only on half of it, it was really odd kinda egg shaped, later
in the day the distinct line was less noticable it was more all foggy) but I
put him back on the drops and it went down again it is still a little bit
misty but it doesn't seem significantly larger than the normal looking one. He
does have a white ring round the outside of his iris on both eyes that he
has had since we got him - which I thought might be growing cataracts but
wasn't sure - but it doesn't seem to bother him and I put it down to age.
If not glaucoma, what do you reckon?
Many thanks Kira
