We now have a diagnosis on Shiloh: German Shepherd Pannus of the Third Eyelid Form in both eyes. I guess there are two types of Pannus, one that affects the third eyelid and the other that affects the cornea. Shiloh's corneas are clear. The Pannus of the Third Eyelid is harder to control.
She is now on Tacrolimus Ointment and NeoPolyDex Ointment in both eyes. She also has a tiny cataract in both eyes (probably born with it and won't grow any bigger). The Pannus is an Immune System disease. The visit today with meds for one month cost $291. The meds should cost around $110 a month!!! Have to see how far those LITTLE tubes go!! Next visit is at the beginning of May.
Save a life, ADOPT!!
