Hi Sally, Bandy also takes when needed torbutrol for pain. I was always told to only give 1/4 of a baby aspirin every 3 to 4 days., but I don't recommend aspirin. not even at the low dose... He was always checked for cornea abrasions when he sees the vet..just in case there is an ulcer on the eye surface...as steroid drops can cause severe problems if there is an ulcer on the eye..It wasn't painful for them to do this..it is a drop they put in his eye then turn off the lights and if there is an ulcer, it will show up as a darker spot when you look at them..We had to back off the steroid drops once due to this...as they can scratch their eyes or something can get into it to make a small ulcer which usually heals quite rapidly then you resume the steroid drops... I hope they will give you what Bandy had as it worked wonders for him...As I mentioned, he is only getting drops once every few days now...as long term we face glaucoma. So when I take him to his specialist they always check for that...check the pressure in the eye.. Please keep us posted.. Prayers are with you two, Kerry, Bandy and Inky
