Apache was cooperative with having the ointments and serum applied to her eye 4-5 times a day at first, but after a week, her tolerance waned and she started balking and struggling and making it difficult to even get close to her injured eye.
I called the Vet and discussed the situation with him and it was decided that he would install an Ocular Lavage System to her eye, so I would be able to administer the array of medications into silicone tubing that would carry the meds directly into her damaged eye.
Before doing the lavage installation, the Vet wanted to stop by my house to examine Apache and see if her eye had improved any from the week of medication.
We both agreed that there didn't seem to be any improvement. But the eye itself appeared to be trying to heal itself with it's creation of many blood vessels. So, we were hopeful.
Apache was even able to open her injured eye wide enough for us to actually see her entire eye. Until this time, she had kept it closed or it was too swollen to open all the way. It was weeping very heavily by this time, though. Apache's right side of her face was wet all the time.
My Vet set up an appointment for the surgery to install Apache's Ocular Lavage System for the very next day.
