uveitis; blue eye
My thorough bred labrador pup has been diagnosed with uveitis in my right eye. His eye is inflamed and blue in colour.The vet has been treating him with steroids and pred acetate drops, but I would like to give homeopathic medicines to counteract the problem. I have been giving him Euphrasia 30x thrice a day for the past week. Do you have any advice on what else I can give to him to reduce the inflammation and make the blueness go away. He can see, but the blueness is still there. No discharges, other than normal eye discharges. No fever, other eye is completely normal.please advise. I will be most grateful.the pup is 65 lbs.meiji on 2004-08-06

The dog is now 6 months old. the inflammation started about three weeks ago. We have had him tested for Lyme and tick borne diseases and they both came back negative.
blood pressure normal,no fever. ocular pressure low in affected eye, varies between 10 and 14 in other normal eye( could be because of steroids?) No signs of anything unusual before conjunctivitis like symptoms appeared. We got the puppy at 8 weeks of age,he was perfectly ehalthy, all immunizations complete cERF tested. The last dose of immunizations was june 19th but no correlation because problems started well after july second week.
I'm not sure how long the puppy was on mothers milk before being weaned. he was an active healthy labrador puppy before all this started. The symptoms appeared suddenly. We did take him swimming and walking in conservation lands close to our home,where he is exposed to other dogs, all pets, some horses and small wildlife, including deer. no corneal trauma or abrasion in eye. Other than that I cant think of anything.
He is a mellow dog, easy to train.

what ingredient breakdown of components in food given to 'pup'
We feed him a dry kiddle of good quality by Purina One for puppies.
Its a lamb and/ or chicken formula. we have been feeding him the lamb one. along with that he gets some milk to make the kibble moist. the ingredients are lamb, brewers rice, corn gluten meal, whole grain corn, oatmeal, fish meal, dicalcium phosphate, potassium chloride, salt, calcium carbonate, choline chloride, L-Lysine monohydrochloride, vitamin supplements (E, A, B-12, D-3), zinc sulfate, ferrous sulfate, brewers dried yeast, riboflavin supplement, niacin, calcium pantothenate, manganese sulfate, biotin, thiamine mononitrate, folic acid, copper sulfate, pyridoxine hydrochloride, garlic oil, menadione sodium bisulfite complex (source of Vitamin K activity), calcium iodate, sodium selenite.
we feed him two cups twice a day of this.
how is appetite?thirst?what changes you observe since amin complaint occur
appetite is normal, thirst was more pronounced with frequent urination due to the steroids he was on by mouth , but now with the prednisone by mouth stopped, his water intake is normal. He was sluggish on medication, but is now back to his old self. getting stubborn though.
what effect steroids have on inflammation?how long were they administered?
steroids helped in bringing inflammation down.his was a particularly severe case.they were administered for 12 days, from dosages that started with 60 mg prednisone to 5 mg prednisone every other day. We are also giving him vitamins A, B, B12, C, Calcium,COQ10, ALA,a good multivitamin,lutein and salmon oil 1000mg . he is still on predacetate eye drops four times a day 1.0% solution. Also atropine to relieve pain, twice a day.we continue that until next week.

you mention ""atropine"" for pain relief---what symptoms you observe that give indication that pain is envolved?
♡ John Stanton last decade
Initially, when the symptoms started, the dog was in obvious discomfort, pawing at his runny itchy eye which was red and inflamed, generally whiny and not going towards the light. the atropine was given to minimise the discomfort of obvious inflammation and subsequent pain, and now the atropine is given to maintain pupil dilation. I neglected to mention, that when the symptoms appeared it was also combined with a dry skin condition with itch. there were parts of his fur that had red inflamed spots which we took to be insect bites, but it could very well be an allergen from the environment or something that manifested in the dermatological condition, we now suspect. The skin of the dog is very dry, and his fur is more on the rough, coarse side.he was also shedding a LOT, but we thought it was because of the summer season when labradors typically do.

ok -will find vacination have causation in this--further complicated by allopathic medicines.these must be stopped.for cure to be effective using homoeopathic treament--
start treatment single dose "only" sulpher 30c
NO Other medicines -skin ointments/cremes
IMPORTANT not ot give 'pup' any sweet foods (sugar products)
also IMPORTANT to be careful --as to sulpher may bring out any hidden anger in 'pup'--so important for careful handling during treatment---
post response or lack of response to sulpher 30c.

it is also possible that use of allo- medicines may have created 'block'--in such case will need to address--but use sulher first and observe from that point..

should i give him Sulphur once today and observe ? and how many pellets? the dosage on my bottle says 3 pellets for adults. is that ok?

He does seem more alert, and willing to play today. However, the blueness still hasnt gone away. Overall, he does seem more healthy and puppy like.
meiji last decade
No discharge that I noticed.What should I be looking for?
The eye is still the same, a little bulge on the eyeball thats seems like a swelling.
Definitely more active today; lots of playing. I can send you a photo on email to give you a better idea.Please let me know.

all his medication are halted. I'm still giving him his multivites and his predacetate drops. I think it may be unwise to stop those at this time.I will send you a photo soon.
meiji last decade
no problem multivitamins--but if any chance predacetate may mask symptoms then not wise to continue use--

John,
I am not being able to send the picture because my computer with the USB connection has crashed. I can send the photo once its restored.
also the spot where his rash was has since healed so I cant send you a pic of that..
what do we do next? he's very frisky and wants to play a great deal. very energetic now.

stop predacetate drops and allow symptomology to show un-masked-
-
i would expect skin condition return in casual passing and discharge from eye to return in passing--if cure is to be had..
.direction of cure will be marked by return of old symptoms in passing and especially those suppressed by anti=pathic methods----if not then possible steroids used in early part of 'allo' treatment --create a block -which need be addressed--so VERY important no allopathic medicines are to be used for pup's 'body' to express TRUE symptoms--

pup frisky--as i mentioned be watchful as to unexpected anger may arise---this is important precaution---
energy level increase could be 'good' sign--but need to see 'signs' as mentioned in previous post--to be more certain of ""uveitis; blue eye"" progress or cure...

John,
There is some growling and biting going on so the anger symptoms are showing through. There is also a discharge from the eye, but its not unhealthy looking. Its a little more than from before though..the skin condition hasn't returned yet, but as I mentioned, he does have coarse fur and always has had.
I am adding Mazola corn oil to his diet in addition to his omega 3 fatty acid supplements in his food.

ok here is where watchfulness is important--take note of any subtle change and post as you observe..
what is color of discharge?
have you stop the predacetate drops ?
take note of characteristics of stool?any changes ? frequency?
the anger release will pass ;;but handle pup with thought--

watery discharge from eyes, more normal looking whitish "sleep". Predacetate stopped.
stools normal, not so hard any more, yesterday a little loose even. frequency a little more than before; wants to go three or four times instead of the regular two.
seems hot and wants to be in an A/c room.
hungrier than usual.
