seeh2o Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Filmnpuck's boy, Elmo, has been diagnosed with the same eye condition as Carl, corneal dystrophy. I've searched the board and so far he's the only one with this particular condition. Elmo has been doing well on it with a combination of eye medications, but I don't know what they are and I'd like to know what is working for him. Filmnpuck is not on the board very often and I'm wondering if anyone knows him/her and can ask that s/he contact me. My email address is: clkruzan at gmail dot com. I am seeking a second opinion as I am concerned that the medication he is currently on is not slowing down the disease process. He did not tolerate Tacrolimus or Cyclosporine. I suggested to the eye vet that maybe it was the agent rather than the medication, he thought it might be possible, but said that if it was the medication instead I would be out $100. I also let him know that the vets at OSU's greyhound program were willing to consult on Carl's case, he wasn't interested as they are not eye experts. Don't get me wrong, he is a very very nice guy, but I really want a second opinion as I think more could be done to slow the disease process down. I was concerned that he blew off the OSU idea and that, though while I appreciate he wants to save me money, I want to fight this aggressively, well as aggressively as my pocketbook will allow.
