Yes, uveitis is treated with topical steroids in the eye.   Prednisolone 
drops is what is usually used; sometimes atropine is used, I think  for pain in 
the eye.  See Kerry's email about Bandy's course on these two  eye drops (drops 
can be easier to get in than ointment, too).  I also  needed to use steroids 
with both Pepsi and Buddy when they had uveitis.   Uveitis is not treated just 
with antibiotics.  It is an inflammation that  needs to be taken down with 
steroids. The only time not to use topical steroids  for uveitis is if there is 
also ulceration of the eye, which the vet needs to  check.

As for  the steroids are you speaking about for his eye? I think I can
discuss that  with Dr Staunton next time I see or speak with her. I will also
check on  the ketophen.
