Hi Sherri and all,

I know you have been getting some suggestions from the NAGDU list, so I hope
they are helpful. If anyone here has any suggestions at all for Sherri,
please share them quickly. I know how important it is for her to get some
concrete information. Fortunately, I have never had to deal with eye
problems with any of my dogs. I know I would have been asking for help just
as you are. I think it's very intimidating for a totally blind person to
deal with meds for a dog's eyes, so here is where help from others who have
little or no vision is extremely empowering.

Here's hoping for a good outcome for your Bailey girl.

Blessings
Sherrill

I am asking for suggestions. I am totally blind and in this case, it
matters. My guide dog Bailey has a lesion on her lower eyelid growing up
onto the eyeball. The vet, an animal ophthalmologist, sent a biopsy out for
pathology, but while we await the results, he gave me some medicine, some
ointment that must be applied on her lower lid and eyeball. It is a very
small amount, about the size of a grain of rice to be applied both places 3
times a day. I have had to rely on my daughter and son to do this, as I
cannot think of a way it would be possible for me to apply the ointment. If
I were by myself, I honestly don't know how I would accomplish this task
besides having a friend come over to do it. Any suggestions would be
welcome.

Sherri
