cherry eye removal long term care
Submitted by amos1 on June 9, 2012 - 12:00pmHey everybody,
So amos just had his cherry eye removed after having the tacking proceeder twice and it allready looks a million times better. We will be visiting the vet in a week for a checkup but I was curious what his long term care might be from this piont on. I know my vet will talk to me in detail about this when we return but I wanted to get a personal account from other bulldog owners. will he now have to be on preventitive eye drops for life?
Thanks

Possible Dry Eye
but I honestly think that does not happen very often. They tend to get dry when they get old anyway. The snipping is a far better choice IMO then tacking.
care...
could be to instill artificial tears or ointment, especially on windy days. Keep antibiotic eye ointment on hand. There's a chance of dry eye, but Bulldogs are predisposed, so there's a chance without cherry eye removal, too. Good luck!
