[NAGDU] Iris Cyst

[Tracy Carcione]

I have put drops in my dog's eye.  I had to be careful, of course, but I
seemed to get them in to do the job.

I'm with you, Sherry. I would never try to put drops into my dog's eyes!
Glad I have a neighbor across the street who is always happy to drop in and
do it, for a little puppy love, of course!

My dog did not have a cyst, but she had a sore on her eye.  She was able to
work pretty well with it.  We also saw an animal ophthalmologist.  He
actually ended up slightly sedating her and scraping the eye.  We then had
drops.  I had help with the drops and the ointment medication.  I think
putting drops in dog's eyes when you are totally blind is EXTREMELY
difficult, as you are not supposed to touch the bottle to their eye or their
skin.  I was so glad I had help.  It took a little while to get her over the
lesion, but as I said, she was still able to work.  Let us know how it is
going.

Hi, all.


My vet found an iris cyst in Paige's left eye last week during a routine
visit.?? He said most of the time these are benign cysts that do not impact
the dog's vision or over all health negatively.?? He doesn't see them often
enough to be sure, though, so he's referred us to a canine ophthalmologist.


Does anyone have any experience with this??? What was the treatment and how
did it impact your dog's work?


Lisa
