Default Canine Closed Angle Glaucoma

I, unfortunately have lots and lots of experience with canine glaucoma and you really, really need to use one of the human glaucoma eye drops. Your veterinary ophthamologist can prescribe you the right one or the right combination. It is a terrible disease and blindness can usually be postponed with the right meds.
My now 12 year old Francis went totally blind from this scourge but he is without doubt the most happy, independent little cuss on the planet. While I was sitting on the couch crying after he finally had his second eye removed he was finding his way to the dinner bowl.
We've been fine ever since.
