Dr. Franz, the other veterinary doctor apart from Dr. Chua herself, took charge of Hushie. He prescribed an eye antibiotic (this time without a steroid) but he believes that the only way for the infection to resolve is removal of the membrane that is inflamed. Although minor, it still calls for surgery where laboratory tests for clearance are to be done prior to anaesthesia and actual excision of a part of Hushie's third eyelid.
Because of my beagle Hushie's recurrent eye infection, I opted to ask for a second opinion. I googled the nearest veterinary clinic near my home and one Saturday, found my way to Chua Veterinary Clinic located along D. Tuazon, Quezon City. I liked the place. The clinic was air-conditioned and clean albeit the perennial smell of various dogs. I was told they have been in practice for more or less two decades.

Last Saturday, I took my 2 year old dog to the vet for an eye consult. Hushie is a lemon beagle. His breed is prone to cherry eye. It's a condition wherein the gland of the third eyelid (aka nictitating membrane) is displaced from its normal position. As a result, you can see a pinkish bulge on the corner of his eye.
Cherry eye can lead to the gland becoming inflamed and irritated thus leading to a high risk of infection. I noticed Hushie's right eye is bloodshot and glassy with some crusts for about two weeks already. I decided to take him for a check up before it gets any worse. |
