The drops didn't work, not one little bit. But then the vet told me they seldom do, and it was a long shot but worth the effort.
I am having the eye operated on when Raul is neutered in March. The vet said there is no harm in waiting, and he would rather use the anesthia (can't spell that one at all) once rather than twice. That should save me some, but not a lot of money. I understand how concerned you are, I was almost, but not quite panic stricken. Now that I am sure the problem is indeed Cherry eye, I know that we could even just leave it alone and it is unlikely something would happen to it. However Raul is a wild thing and loves to dig in the dirt and run through the high grass and bushes, I am afraid that he will get dirt in it or scratch it, so off it will come. Good luck with your baby, keep us posted.

Our vet gave us some kind of cream to use in the eye for seven days to see if it would clear up, before considering surgery. He was not so sure that it was cherry eye because it is not really bulging or red. I was curious as to what the drops were that you had been given, if they work, I would like to suggest them to my vet. What we were given was a tube of cream to squirt into his eyes every 12 hours. I am really concerned about his eye. The vet quoted me 350.00-450.00 for the operation. Yikes. Does anyone think this is high, or is this a normal rate? Thanks.
