So, poor Flynn is a little rescue (5 years old) that apparently had FHV seriously in the shelter. He was fine until he developed asthma a year or so ago. Now I've got him on an inhaler. But about the same time as I was treating him with steroid injections for the asthma he developed a really red, sore eye. The vet prescribed ofloxacin drops and I used it and it cleared up, but came back immediately after we stopped. So then we tried the anti-viral drops and again it sort of got better, but never 100%. Finally tried ofloxacin again and same results. Took him to an opthamologist and on that day his eye actually looked pretty good. She couldn't see anything wrong, but she prescribed a steroid drop 3x a week.
Now I'm still using that drop, but in between days his eye gets red and sore. I have found that just using any sort of drop seems to help. It seems to wash out his eye and he looks much better. Twice a day I have to put something in his eye. He is really starting to hate me. The bribes and play-time after a treatment only undo so much enmity.
I'm just curious if anyone has ever dealt with anything like this. I'm tempted to take him to another eye specialist.
