We are home now and the vet thinks we should just remove his eye. It is recessed and has a lot of gunk. (I suspected it was recessed but not sure.) This time we saw the doctor who helped Bruin. Haven't seen her since he was pts. I opted to do the culture that our other doctor suggested, which can take a couple weeks to get back. We'll be able to see what bacteria is causing this, and get the right meds since the 'usual' eye meds aren't helping. Otherwise, if/when we remove the eye, the eye can be sent off for testing. The CT scan would cost as much as removing L Bear's eye, so...idk. I'm totally okay with removing his eye. He can't see anyway. It's the surgery that worries me. The vet said he is most likely in pain, so he needs to stay on meloxicam. Waiting on a quote for eye removal right now.
I can't afford both the CT scan and the eye removal, so now that two vets have told me to remove the eye, may just do that.
I do have carecredit and would LIKE to do the CT scan because I'd like to see what there is, but with my senior dog having his own issues, I don't want to stretch myself too thin. Aside from his eye, Little Bear is happy as can be.
