At what point should I consider having eye removed? Glaucoma dx in both eyes. IOD R 27 L 50. Currently on drops to help lower pressure. Diagnosed 9 months ago.

I noticed about 2 months ago the my dog had what looked to be white crusty stuff, looked like sleep, in her eye more than normal in both eyes. With her being black and short haired it was really easy to see that it was uncommon but I had also noticed that she was sneezing a bit more this spring than usual as well. We took a short three day vacation and that when I noticed she wasn't eating like she should but then I considered she was out of element because we never really go anywhere. Within a week she had started rubbing her face between blankets and her paws, completely stopped eating, she couldn't see and I noticed her right eye had become kind of bluish colored, normally dark brown. I took her to the vet within a week and said it was full glaucoma in right eye and starting in left. They gave me drops. 1 drop each eye twice a day and that was it. Is there more that should have been done?

My dog has glucoma in one eye.The vet suggested some drops and we put it in both his eyes. However those drops made him very uncomfortable. He would not be able to sleep and then one day his other eye also clouded. We immediately stopped the drops and his other eye recovered to normal. Now he is able to see from one eye. His other eye is still buldged. But he shows no signs of pain. Should we leave him like that. Or should we take some action. Will his buldged eye evercome back to normal?

Our dog started getting a cloudy eye recently. Shortly after, she developed a small abscess on the skin, just below the lower eyelid, I've checked in her mouth well for rotten teeth but found nothing. Treated the abscess, which quickly dried up and went away. We suspected she was nipped by another dog, causing the abscess. Now, after a week of being healed, her eye seems irritated, painful and tearing. We are going to get her into the vet immediately, but have no real 24 hour emergency centers less than an hour away. Is there anything I can do from home to help her be comfortable until morning?

10 yr old Bichon w juvenile cataracts in both eyes, he has been basically blind for several years. About 5 weeks ago, noticed that left eye looked rolled back into his head. Visited vet next day, diagnosis ulcer on his cornea - given antibiotic drops. Week later, eye is not better. Return to vet who refers us to ophthalmologist, same diagnosis ulcer 60% of cornea, pressure normal. Continue drops. Another week, eye is not better and is now bulging return immediately to ophthalmologist and diagnosis is secondary glaucoma left eye and a small ulcer on the cornea of right eye. Drops to reduce pressure and new pain meds given. Rechecked 4 days later, pressure is normal now. A few more days go by and now the left eye is red and muddy looking & right eye is weepy and he is in obvious pain. Surgery to remove the left eye is scheduled for Tuesday at the vet. Going back to ophthalmologist for a second/final opinion on Monday. I hate the idea of removing his eye but understand it may be what is best for him. Now, Considering if both eyes should be removed at the same time. He’s blind in both eyes and the right eye looks better than the left but doesn’t look good. Wouldn’t it be better to remove both eyes and not but him through a second surgery?

My adopted 14.5 year old mini Aussie had enucleation surgery of her left eye. That was about 2 months ago. She is a fear biter and I had the surgery done quite quickly after she was diagnosed as she would not let me put drops in her eye without always try to nip/bite at me. I did treat tricks but she’s too darn smart and wouldn’t even come to me to take treats. Now her right eye is tearing a lot, seems to be pink in color and the white of her eye seems a bit red, not as red as her left eye was before surgery. I read that once one eye has had glaucoma the other eye might also get it. I’m worried that is what is happening. So my dilemma is if I should put her through another surgery (recovery was very difficult as she would not take her pain pills the first night, it was a struggle and I had to use gloves to avoid being bit). I don’t know that she would do well being totally blind because of her fear reactions and so I’m so torn about wondering if I should put her down if glaucoma does happen in her only remaining eye. Will either of our lives be a good quality of life. I didn’t know when I adopted her 1.5 years ago that she was a fear biter. Groomers won’t take her now because since the enucleation she is more fearful and they couldn’t even get a muzzle on her. The original examination with the ophthalmologist was awful, two of their medical teams couldn’t even get a good reading as she went berserk even with a muzzle on. I’m just so torn as to what to do and what to expect.
