She is a rescue and has probably had dry eye for several years. I know nothing about her background. My regular Vet put her on the cyclosporin and the Opthamologist took her off and put her on Tacrolimus. I guess he feels it works better than the cyclosporin.

was it not working ?

Layla is on Optimunne 3x's a day now and until tear production increases I am doing Genteal drops to keep her eye lubricated 6 x's a day .

How long has she had dry eye ? what has been your course of treatment so far ? This is new for us

Layla is getting drops 9 times a day right now and we have to do this for at least 6 weeks ! Its a good thing that I work from home most of the days a week and can bring her with me when I do photoshoot days . How would anyone be able to do this if they worked 9-5 ???

But the Opthamologist took her off of it today. He put her on Tacrolimus.

but, is the dry eye being treated properly? after the cross hatching they can put a human Bosch and LOmb lens to get the first intention healing to happen and then, when that comes off, she will need a 'protective collar' on so she cannot rub it.

CYCLOSPORINE is an anti cancer, rejection drug that will stimulate the auxillary tear ducts to produce tears for her. She will need to be on this for the rest of her life to treat the dry eye.

Severe pigmentation of the cornea instead of severe scarring. I know they don't sound alike but I had a lot to take in. Just trying to get a handle on all the meds and trying to remember all the questions I wanted to ask. I have been under so much stress this past week trying to work and care for 4 sick bulldogs.


But anyway, I know he mentioned some scarring but I believe it was the pigmentation of the cornea that was the major thing that was caused by the dry eye.

I hope there is something that can be done to make her feel better, I imagine it can be annoying and hurt

TMK the only "treatments" available are to 1)halt progression of the problem and 2)to keep the eye comfortable and free from infection. Corneal transplants are done on humans but I dont believe they are offered for canines.
