tacrolimus eye drops dogs

Have you tried Autologous ( Blood serum ) eye drops...? Check into them. They are drops that are made from your own dogs, or a donor dogs blood. They worked well for my Yorkie, but, we had to discontinue, because the donor dogs owner decided to stop donating. Anyway, Ask the vet school about them. As far as the surgeries go, check in often, as other members who have knowledge of, or experience with the surgeries may reply.

Can tacrolimus eye drops and Cyclosporine ointment cause cancer in dogs? My precious dog, baby and best friend was diagnosed just last week with Transitional Cell Carcinoma in his bladder. It is a rapid growing cancer. I am completely heartbroken and am wondering if there was something I could've done to prevent this. He has been on these two eye medications for about a year. His name is Duke and he is a beautiful tri-colored collie and is a little over 10 years old.

We have tried a couple of different forums but not much response. We also are trying to find out all the pros & cons before we have surgery done. Right now we are using Cyclosporine & Tacrolimus drops 3 times a day plus Genteal severe dry eye gel every hour (6AM –10PM) to keep his eyes comfortable. Luckily there is someone home all day. Our opto said he would check saliva just before the operation.

I don’t know if his eye will heal and be normal or if I’ll have to give him eye drops for the rest of his life, much less, which eye drops do I give him?! (tear production drops, artificial tears, Tacrolimus, Genteal, I-Drops, Collidad Silver) I don’t know if the Cyclosporine will help produce tears or if it will give him cancer. I don’t know if he will go blind or they will want to take his eye out! I know one thing for sure, the saliva duct surgery sounds awful! Sorry for going on and on.

She has been on many medications. Tacrolimus, cyclsporine, pilocarpine, neopolydex, gentamycin, tobramycin, simplicef, gabapenten, genteal drops, oint. gel, refresh, blink, now she is also taking tramadol for pain. She has been wearing the hood for 6 months to prevent her for scratching her eyes. She just turned 4 and and she is in so much pain, We finally decided to have surgery and have found out it is 2600.00 per eye. I am very worried it won't work.

I have an 8 yr old yorkie with severe dry eye. She has had it for several yrs and did pretty good. I was putting 4 kinds of eye drops in her eyes as often as possible. The last 3 or 4 mos her eye has stopped responding to the drops. I've changed all the drops that I give her, added liver happy and cod liver oil to her diet, and it has helped some. Does anyone have any other suggestions that I might try. I do not want her to lose her eye sight.

We sterilize a long pin with a head that we use to stick the capsule of the oil, then the oil gets squeezed on the eye without touching it, just 1-2 drops is fine for each affected eye, do this about 4 times a day, if the eye is super dry add a little Bausch & Lomb Soothe PM relief, it is just pure petroleum and mineral oil specially designed for the eye with no other chemicals.

Tacrolimus eye drops, while they do work, come with the added risk of bladder cancer, so while they ARE a possible alternative, they are not without their problems. If the Optimmune keeps the condition from worsening, even though it doesn't clear it up, it may be the lesser of the evils.

Can I use restasis eye drops on my dog? The vet I use to have made his own eye drops for her and made her eye worse and I live in a small rural community and he's the only vet in the area so don't really want to trust him again.

can I use flax seed oil for eye drops for my dog? We have tried antibiotics, tacrolimus, and all over the counter drops but nothing seems to help, someone suggest flax seed oil but will only try this if I know it will not harm her in any way.

Can I use Besivance in my dogs eyes? He has an eye infection. He is totally blind and is 16 years old.

(interestingly though, a few days before at the vet, the schirmer test was 12 in both eyes). Now 6 weeks later, the right eye has a 6 and the left eye still has 0. The specialist reviewed all of the options with us - cyclosporine, pilocarpine or tacrolimus with sirolimus. She said that very rarely has she seen any dog respond to cyclosporine after not responding to tacrolimus.

My dog has chronic dry eye, persistent conjunctivitis & scarring on his cornea from a corneal ulcer. He has been on maxidex for 3 years. He can still see & is 14.5 years old & has cataracts. I have been told he is a good candidate for cataract surgery but I am not sure. Any advice??

But, while you are there,have him tested for Dry Eye. (my yorkie had dry eye..my vet said it is quite common in older dogs and smaller breeds seem more suseptible to it ) Mucus buildup / discharge from the eyes is the main symptom...also squinting of the eyes, (especially outside from sun and wind ) The test is very simple, painless,inexpensive...(paper strip), and takes about 60 seconds. Dry Eye can be very painful and can lead to eye ulcers and blindness.

Your friend has a very difficult decision to face. When we take animals into our home, they trust us to take care of their physical and mental needs. Your friend has broken that trust - unwittingly - but it's a hard fact to understand when we feel love and a connection to our pets. If your friends can take a step back and view the situation objectively, they may find that they simply cannot meet the needs of a dog, whether it is one dog or two.

concerned with my little dogs eyelid that is pink all around the one eye. There is black hard stuff that I need to scrap off the corner of her eye every once in a while. What can it be? Remedy?

Used the perscribed drops and the pink was gone instantly.Apo-Ofloxacin drops,Combigan drops and Maxidex drops which one cleared the eye instantly?Hope this was not pink eye.Does this sound like pink eye in the lefteye? Confused Patient.

Hi Kate..Eye infections are common in dogs......Left untreated, they can cause serious damage to the eyes.....Ask your parents to make a Vet appointment for your dog.....Antibiotic eye drops are used to clear up the infection.....It's very easy treatment and not too expensive... In the mean time, take a warm, soft, wet wash cloth & gently wash the debris from your dogs eyes.....Good luck & let us know.....Eye infections clear up quickly once treatment has began...

t know if it is depression, the eye drops she is still on. I am trying to get another eye vet with the same clinic to see her but he cannot until next week. I wish I had never put her through all this.

Thank you so much! I guess I just got too worried but I woke up all better this morning...just a little puffy under my eyes now...

How iron clad is the expiration date for cyclosporine eye drops for dogs?

Our terrier, a Westie, suffers from "dry eye". this causes a lot of mucus to form in the eye. We use prescription eye treatment every morning and night, but he still ejects some mucus at the nose, each side, every day. It really shows on his white fur. The vet says the eye treatment should prevent dry eye from causing blindness. That would be especially tough as he is already deaf.

Our dog has been having discoloration to his right eye. It started out like glassy like and then started getting cloudy and more cloudier and now the whole eye is pretty much covered. The other one to me looks like it could be starting to get that way too - a slight different tint about it like the other one started out. I told my husband I thought it was cataracs and he was going blind. He says I am wrong that he can see perfectly (umm...like he knows this, what hershey told him this?

Hi. My personal opinion is the eye drops (along with all other similar antioxidant-based eye drops) are not going to help at this stage. Surgery is the very best option - and then, after surgery, you should talk to your vet about antioxidant eye-drop supplementation. Sadly, companies and individuals make some extraordinary claims about eye-drop treatments curing cataract, but if this were true, their products would be headline news all over the world.

The swelling is usually due to an allergic reaction. You can try Zaditor, Alway or Visine Allergy eye drops.

My eyes are watering and itching so bad and super sensitive to light. Is there over the counter eye drops that are safe for pregnant people to use?

I recommend you to visit your doctor's clinic to get detailed information about how to take acular eye drops & its dosage. A specialist in eye caring will going to suggest you in better way.
