Hi Sally, My Bandy has uveitis, and we have been dealing with it since around Feb. this year.. We tried all sorts of things at first as he did have an eye infection so he was mostly on antibiotic eye drops until that cleared then we added the dex drops. He just kept getting worse and went almost all the way blind..So I took him to an eye specialist in Dallas.. He changed the meds and Bandy had almost immediate relief and most of his vision returned even though the doctor thought he had only a slim chance for recovery... He changed the med to prednisolone ac 1% ophth susp. He was getting 1 to 2 drops per eye 3 to 4 times a day..the fibrin went away almost immediately. We also used atropine ointment or you can use the drops to try to keep the pupils from getting fixed. Bandy's pupils are permanetly fixed now but he can see..I don't think he has alot of depth perception, but he can climb and get around great now..I haven't taken him back for a re-check since the summer and we are past due..and hoping to go soon as I can get this ringworm thing under control again..he is FIV+ Felv+ so we have dealt with alot of things.. I would suggest that you try this med as it is what works best for this..We need to have glaucoma tests repeated as often as possible as it can cause that...Bandy is on 1 drop every 3 days now and it seems to be working..I am going to contact his doctor next week and will keep you posted as to what our next move is for now.. Hope this helps..It was amazing for Bandy.. Let me know if you need any more info about it.. Kerry, Bandy and Inky I forgot to mention that after about 1 month they decreased the dosage for Bandy to 1 drop twice and day..and I think I told you that he is on it every 3 days now..
