Cornea ulcer?

[Tallia]

Thursday last week I had noticed one of my oldest, had a blue film and white spot on her eye. An immediate phone call to the vet was made, and appointment soon after. The vet prescribed us with Metacam and two lots of eye drops, one for the dryness and one for the injury itself. At today’s check up (with a different vet) she thinks it isn’t an ulcer. The blue colour has decreased, and is now being replaced by a very dark red colour that looks like blood, and the white spot has stayed the same. Does anyone know if this is natural for the healing process or if there is something else underlying? Thank you in advance.

Hi!

The dark red is rather pointing to an infection; the stronger once can turn this colour befir. I can sometimes take several days to work past a stubborn ulcer sitting on an eye poke.
Please continue your treatment with antibiotic eye drops and lubricants.

An alternative possibilities are both rather rare, either a osseous choristoma or a fatty deposit on the surface of the eye, but I would make very sure that it is not an infection in the first place!

Thank you, I hope it’s just taking a little while, and she doesn’t have any underlying issues as I imagine she is in great discomfort.
