Hi Michelle
I will see if I can reach Junior's regular Vet tomorrow, she was at a conference last Friday. There is less pain today, but it is still closed. I just want him to fell better.

Prednisolone drops is what is usually used; sometimes atropine is used, I think for pain in the eye. See Kerry's email about Bandy's course on these two eye drops (drops can be easier to get in than ointment, too). I also needed to use steroids with both Pepsi and Buddy when they had uveitis. Uveitis is not treated just with antibiotics. It is an inflammation that needs to be taken down with steroids. The only time not to use topical steroids for uveitis is if there is also ulceration of the eye, which the vet needs to check. Michelle In a message dated 12/4/2006 6:48:29 P.M.

I will also check on the ketophen.
