Question:
thank you for your responses..its so heartening to know that you all care enough to respond.
The opthalmologist actually performed titer tests to rule out the possibility of tick borne diseases and Lyme, since our pup had an elevated WBC and lowered RBC's , which could also be due to the fact he was on cortico steroids. However all the results came out negative, so we dont know what the cause is and why the uveitis occured. Of course the reason we are in the frantic state today is because the inflammation went untreated so long and we werent seen by a qualified opthalmologist,and our vet couldnt diagnose the problem, but thats another story..
it is not an inherited disease, so the breeders, even though they are very much engaged and forthcoming in this situation, are not responsible..
the blueness has not gone away, and the cloudiness is very worrying, and the dog still cannot see, it makes us feel so bad, he certainly is handling it much better than all of us..
his ocular pressure in the affected eye is 8, the other eye is normal. I have put him on a strong holistic vitamin therapy, lets see if that works. the vets have a wait and watch approach, so by next tuesday, we'll see what transpires.
yes, the vet opthalmologist did use a slit lamp microscope to diagnose the problem, and used a tonometer to measure the eye pressure; he seems to know what he is doing and is AVCO qualified.
Any thoughts will be most appreciated. He is on 1undefined0 mg pprednisone now, and i do realise thats the steroids arent particularly great, but for the inflammation to die down, it seems that its the only way to go..
pray for us! from my stalking on the net i gather that with all other factors negative, uveitis may be indicative of something allergic in his environment, but we still dont know what it is..its so frustrating since we have tried our very best to get him treated as quickly as possible but the vets wouldnt see him , and when they did they completely misdiagnosed it. it makes me heartsick..
