Things Begin to Change

Catcher started showing some mucousy discharge in both of his eyes a few days ago. It progressed to the point that he had a film of mucous covering each eye. I began treating it with BNP however when it wasn't getting better I decided to take him to the vet. I figured it needed steroids, however since he had been rubbing his eyes I was almost certain he had ulcerated to a degree.

Initial physical exam findings:
greenish discharge, bilateral conjunctivitis, corneal edema left side, increased ocular discharge, suspect allergies, fluorescein stain showed + Left side - Right side. Mild stain uptake on left eye, very superficial, suspect steroid would still be responsive.

Treatment:
Dexospore bilateral three times daily. optional benadryl 25-50mg twice daily

Re check in 2 days
