cometdust1 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Thanks to all the greyt health information on this site I knew my dog had pannus at its very earliest stage. Took him right to the opthamologist. She was surprised that I noticed it so early on. She said I must know a lot about greyhounds. I told her its only because I read this site and every time I see a new medical issue I learn all I can about it. He doesnt even need steroids. Just the Tacrolimus drops once a day for 1 month and then a recheck. Thanks for this site! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greytpups Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Brooke was diagnosed with Pannus and I put drops in her eyes everyday and will have to for her entire life so she doesn't go blind. Is the recheck just to see how the meds are working? Pannus can be treated but not cured. Quote Jan with precious pups Emmy (Stormin J Flag) and Simon (Nitro Si) and Abbey Field.

My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cometdust1 Posted February 15, 2014 Author Share Posted February 15, 2014 Yes, the recheck is to see how well the medicationhas calmed the eye. If all looks good, we'll go to every other day, with at home monitering by me. Recheck again, and go to maintenance dose. She said many dogs can go down to 2 times a week with increases during summer if the dog is outside often. She treats the police shephards with pannus so she works with it often.
