Dr. Williams replied:
This may seem a bit obtuse and contraindicated in what
appears to be
an infection, but at any time have steroids been tried?
<Yes steroid eyedrops were tried, but has no positive
results.>
Also if the third eyelids were removed, what did pathology
on them
show?
<The report said that it was an e. coli infection that
should have been sensitive to Baytril, but the Baytril has
not worked. He has had a extremely small reduction in the
redness with the Cipro drops, but it still seems it will
be necessary to remove one or both eyes to clean out the
pus behind them>
thank you Dr. Williams! Any ideas are appreciated.
