Common Questions and Answers about Zymar eye drops for dogs

Avatar m tn Thanks. Now after cataract surgery (left eye) we are given below drops. Zymar 4 times a day for 1 week. Pred Forte 4 times a day for first 3 weeks, 3 times a day next 1 week, 2 times a day for next 1 week, 1 time a day next 1 week. Megabrom 2 times a day for 4 weeks. Megabrom when applied gives prickling/slight burning sensation is it normal? Can Megabrom dose be reduced to 2 weeks. Wondering combination of steroidal and non-steroidal drops.
Avatar f tn To continue or not to continue ? I've been using Zymar for 12 days and the eye infection (mucus film and pink eye) is not completely gone. I was supposed to be completely recovered in 5 days. After 12 days, my eye is about 95% healed. Since " . . . prolonged use may result in overgrowth of nonsusceptible organisms, including fungi.", I would like to know if I should continue for a few more days or stop now.
Avatar f tn Bandage lens placed on eye with one week follow up to remove lens. Used Zymar drops 1 x day while bandage on. Told 4-6 wk. heal time. I am at the 4 wk. mark. I have scratchy, gritty, irritated, burning eyes. Called opthamologist several times w/same response of give it time. Using eye drops several times and hour still and pm ointment. GP is ruling out Sjogrens syndrome with bloodwork.
Avatar n tn I'm scheduled for cataract surgery on Wednesday. I started the prescription drops (Zymar and Xibrom) on Sunday morning as directed. I've had some peculiar symptoms and wondering if they are drug related. Sunday morning, a few hours after both drops, I sat down to read the paper (next to a bright light) and started feeling very hot. The left (cataract and light) side of my face felt a little numb, with some prickly feeling. I also felt very flushed....weak and faint feeling.
Avatar n tn My doctor gave me prescriptions for Zymar (0.3%), to be used 4X daily for 3 days AND Xibrom (0.09%), 2 X daily for 3 days prior to surgery. After looking on the RXlist medication information site, it says that Xibrom should be used only 24 hours prior to cataract surgery. Any longer could cause corneal adverse events......what kind of events? I'm really nervous about surgery and am beginning to question if I want to go through with it at this time.....What are preferred anesthesias?
Avatar f tn 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.
1627010 tn?1299446388 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.
Avatar n tn My surgeon has prescribed 4 drops of Pred Forte per day for 6 weeks tapering off for 2 weeks following cataract surgery on both eyes. I've read that PF actually delays healing in these cases. I had to use Prednisone for months for an unrelated problem and suffered all the usual side affects - moon face, obese trunk, etc. Do I really need to take Pred Forte for so long? I'm also using Zymar (for ten days) and Xibrom (for 8 weeks) in each eye.
Avatar m tn I just went through cataract surgery in November. It can be very worth it but there is a lot of aftercare and there can be complications. My dog did not have any issues other than the cataracts except for some inflammation. After surgery we had to deal with one minor ulceration and one fairly major ulceration. She is now healed and doing great. She is no longer fearful like she became when she couldn't see, and no longer slamming into walls either!
Avatar n tn You have a serious problem that can cause permanent damage to the eye and in the worst case loss of eye. It may take longer than a week to clear up. use the medicine drops exactly as prescribed. Deal with the sensitivity to light with a hat and sunglasses. You can even get sun goggles like people wear after cataract surgery that block from the side and top. Ask the ophthalmologist about them tomorrow. DO NOT WEAR YOUR OTHER CONTACT LENS.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar m tn Let the eye heal, ask your surgeon to help you switch over to depending on the operated eye (usually done by glasses for opearted eye and a "balance" lens for the unoperated eye that will undercorrect it and it will be the less clear eye). After the operated eye sees well and you are happy with it, if you cannot use them together then consider cataract surgery or lasik on the unoperated eye. Wait at least 6-12 weeks after surgery on the first eye to let everything settle.
Avatar n tn my doctor said that i have a bacterial conjunctivitis and ws advised to take zymar- gatifloxacin drops for 4x a day for 14 days. Now is my 3rd day of using the said medicine but i felt that my got swell..dont know if this is the effect...i would like to hear any advised..do i have to continue using the medicine of not? pls. help me..
Avatar m tn , after seing an optomologist and getting on zymar + azithromycin + benadryl, the tearing + mucus in eye has reduced. Either eye/duct infection is gone from zymar, or my sinus infec has completely cleared or the benadryl is reducing some alergies... anyway., when i apply warm compress and then blow my nose with left nostril blocked., tears + white mucus drains into eye., this has to do with "wide open nasolacrimal duct" can someone please explain how this happens?
Avatar n tn Besivance may be OK....I am unsure. It would be fine for human use, but is it fine for dogs? I don't know. I would recommend calling your vet to ask advice about safety for its use in dogs. If you are not sure, then make an appointment with your vet for an appropriate antibiotic lotion. Your dog may even need oral antibiotics as well.
Avatar n tn I took the drops for a few days and my eye seemed to heal up, so I had another exam done. This Dr. said I had -4.5 in both eyes and a "mild" astigmatism in both eyes. He gave me some contacts (biomedics?) and I put in my order for glasses. Even with the contacts the right eye seemed slightly blurred but I was so happy to be seeing clear I didn't think much of it. A week or so later my glasses came in and once again I complained about the right eye being slightly off. The Dr.
Avatar m tn I had undergone vitrectomy( i had asked you before and the reply was to go ahead) for ERM removal and also had cystoid macular edema and also hameroge. It is 20days over after the surgery and the surgery went well with no complications. I now fell blurdness when i try to read small letters and the distortion on vertical line is still there. I would like to know will the distortion disapperars and is it connected to CME and also how long the blurdness will be there.
Avatar f tn Sure, you can subsititute another antibiotic (if you can tolerate these drops) such as Tobramycin or Polytrim. For about one patient a week, I have to substitute Tobramycin for my usual floroquinolone Zymar, because the patient has a allergic history. Talk to your surgeon. There should be no problem making the switch here if needed.
620923 tn?1452915648 s an infection present if there is pus collecting around the eye. In my experience, an eye problem is usually caused by a scratch and antibiotic eye drops are needed to heal it. If you've been cleaning it yourself, just make sure you don't touch the eyeball & potentially cause more damage. Even soft towel fibers can cause more damage. I'm sure your pet store carries some kind of cleansing/soothing eye drop for dogs. That could be a good place to start to see if it helps her.
Avatar m tn 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. She just cannot enjoy her life ands she is so young.
