Can be difficult to see. Sometimes it looks like a little spot on the eye, or it can look like a pit if severe. Need to use the stain drops to really see an ulcer. We see lots of ulcers in rescue. My Belle had one that took over a month to get rid of. I treated it with Atropine drops and BNP (without Dex. No steroid used to treat ulcers because it slows healing.)

Put a cone on him if he is rubbing it.

If you Google "Dog Eye Ulcer" and click on "Images," you will see lots of them from mild to severe.

Ozzy had an ulcer and entropian surgery last summer--the thing that got us to the vet was his eye was gucky all the time. If it is a ulcer, depending on how deep it is, it may require immediate surgery. We brought Ozzy to the vet on Monday morning--they got him an appoitment with Tufts that afternoon and Tufts kept him until the surgery on Wednesday so not the make it worse.

with his regular vet. My husband wants to get the surgery done immediately by our regular vet, but I really want to go to the opthomologist & get her opinion. I dont know if maybe our vet can give us some cream or medication for now. It looks like a broken blood vessel at the bottom of his eyeball. Its actually in both eyes

better to be safe, eye ulcers can deteriorate quickly. Oreo had one a few years ago, and I kind of remember it looking red in the sunlight.
