TheFullHouse Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Wow I looked it up and now understand your need for layman's terms. I had one heck of a time understanding the disease but what I did get out of it is that it's treated with steroids. Can't be more help than that, sorry.

Yep, that's all I got out of what I read too... I'm just trying to understand it, as there is a chance that a hound with that disease, dx'd in 2006 could be coming to live with us. We'll of course bring her to the vet but I wanted to get a head start on learning about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macoduck Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 The human explanation of lens problem was a bit easier to understand than the canine sites.

Thanks! ok, now I understand the coloboma part, which is good... now I'll to try and really understand this NGE stuff nodular granulomatous episcleritis From what I see in the opthamology report, she was prescribed Prednisolone acet 1% susp 5ML and Tacrolimus Aq .02% eye drop 10ml. From my discussions with the hound's current owner, she hasn't had been given these meds in quite some time and I hope the condition hasn't progressed. The poor girlies eyes look all red and uncomfortable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
