This noted, there are in fact cases of over-the-counter and home-remedies that humans use that can be used on a dog, but not until one knows it is in general done with good success. Don't be the test case.
I know the spirit of your post was to get information - mine is just general, but does apply. The only good solution is to get a treatment from a veterinarian - cost, but maybe no more than a dinner out.
Acular helps inflammation, but may slow healing so should be used with caution. Vigamox should only be used as long as it is needed. I suspect you are just in the initial stages of treatment and things will be modified carefully every week or so. That is the way I usually do it. I'm sorry, it appears you have a significant area of damage to the cornea. Make sure you are seeing a well qualified board-certified ophthalmologist and follow the instructions properly.
Yarrow,
I wanted you to know that I had cataract surgery on my left eye on Jan. 11. And I used the Vigamox drops pre and post-op as directed.
Three days after surgery, I woke up with a problem with my left shoulder. I'm not sure it was tendinitis, and maybe it was a coincidence that I had it. But I can tell you that it took about a month for it to finally get better! I stopped the Vigamox drops around Jan. 26.
Just posting this as an FYI.
Only someone that has examined your eyes can tell you how it should be used. It's important to know that "bacterial keratitis" is a potentially serious problem that can lead to permanent eye damage.
I saw the doctor today and he suggested I het a surgery for it to be romved.
d really like to not have to wear glasses with my wedding dress. Is there anything I can do so I can tolerate wearing my contact lenses for just one day? I've tried to see if its just that my eyes need to readjust to wearing contacts again, but that doesn't seem to be working. If the solution is that I need to see an eye doctor again, how can I find the best eye doctor in my area? I really don't want to have to try several more eye drops or to end up in the emergency room again.
Now I am scheduled for cataract surgery, and in the presurgical packet I received this weekend, there is an rx for Vigamox, even though I requested that a note about the Cipro/Vigamox problem be placed in my file.
I know the fluoroquinolones are appealing to docs because they are so tremendously effective, but for people who cannot tolerate them, are there acceptable substitutes?
I have a bad case of Blepharitis and my optician has prescribed Vigamox to be used for 7 days on my eye lids. I am on the 4th day and I don't see a whole lot of change in my eyelids. Is there something better than this? I also go to an Opthamoligist and he prescribed a salve, which also didn't work. I am putting hot compresses on everynight with a lid scrub (also not working.) I would appreciate any help you could give me. Thanks.
I've had dogs all my life and trained them well. My current golden is the most stubborn, strong willed dog I have ever met, nothing like a typical golden. And when forced to do as told, she borders on aggression. She's already passed her CGC, so she knows hows to do an amazing amount of things, but she is a wild, crazed jumping, nipping beast when anyone comes to the house, or whenever she wants to be.
The swelling you think might be pregnancy could be fluid retention. That can be caused by quite a few problems. It could also be a very bad load of worms...? That's why it may be best to have her properly checked out with the vet.
7 months is WAY too young to be having a litter of pups. Pregnancy, birth, and feeding a litter at her age could severely compromise her health. Also, as you do not know what size of male dog/breed etc, she might have mated with...
You can--and absolutely should--ask the doc or the pharmacist; they will be happy to give you the info. Also, you can simply type the name of the med into a google search box, and tons of info will come up.
But first--you have to know the NAME of the drug in question.
And as for what your 'friend may have heard," is this person a doctor or nurse? If not, why are you even listening to him or her?
From now till the surgery, you should place a warm compress (could be a hot pack rapped in a wet towel or anything else really warm that won't burn your eyelids) on your eyelids for 5-10 minutes every night followed by scrubbing of your eyelashes with warm water and a Q-tip (this is meant to decrease the amount of bacteria on your eyelashes before the surgery). After this, you should place lubricating gel or ointment (meant for dry eyes) before you go to bed.
Please avoid washing the eyes out since it will cause further irritation and more discharge. I am unclear if you still need to be on vigamox? These are often complex cases and require attention to the lid margin and the abnormal tear film. Sometimes a brief course of steroid drops and gentle cleaning of the lid margins and aggressive treatment of dry eyes are in order.
