Hey all! I haven't been around in FOREVER!
I inherited my inlaws 11 year old, Abby (they moved out of the country). Yesterday we noticed puss coming from her eye and the eye was cloudy and rolled back quite a bit. I took her in after work today and she was diagnosed with glaucoma. Her pressure was 60 (normal 15-17).
I'm a bit concerned about her age and the surgery so I'm just wondering about anyone else's experience with the disease and if the meds were effective. Did the meds work at all? She's on 5 different RXs as of tonight. I'm just HOPING she can stay on the meds as long as possible!
ETA: Quick Update. When she got up this morning the inflamation had dramatically reduced and there was no drainage coming from the eye. It's still very cloudy but I'm so relieved and impressed that the medications started working this fast. Especially since yesterday she couldn't even open that eye in the morning due to all the gunk.
