OKAY... this was NOT what I was expecting. You know you prepare yourself for the worst, right? Well... heres what we learned. Molly has lesions on the back of her eye that are causing inflammation and dilating her pupils....WHAT? yeah, I know. What's causing it is now what we need to learn so we're treating her for multiple causes just to get her vision back. could be a parasite or it could be something her body is doing itself. We have steroids to treat the inflammation and doxycycline to treat a possible parasite. More tests are out to the labs to see if it's a parasite causing these lesions or something else. 2 week supply of steroids is what the vet thinks should restore her vision because they tested everything else to make sure her retinas aren't degenerating. In my opinion, this is good news, we don't have a definite answer to the cause, but we're treating it !!

:yay: THANKS FOR ALL THE WELL WISHES AND POSITIVE THOUGHTS !!!!!!!

That's good news. I hope this all ends well, and her vision is restored.

That sounds like a good prognosis. Hopefully the medications will work against parasite or whatever it is causing this. Will send good thoughts and prayers your way.

Good news. Did the Doctor say anything about possible Uveitis? I know that I probably spelled that wrong, but one of my girls had that. Did you see Dr. White? Fingers are still crossed.

Wow! This sounds positive! Not that she has this issue, of course, but that it might not be permanent or as bad as you thought. Fingers crossed that there will be better news ahead! :huggy:

How is she doing, KDenise? And have you heard anything back on her bloodwork?

Nothing yet, they said it would be a few days. She's in really good spirits though. She is eating and drinking good. Now I guess we just wait. I never thought I'd say this, but I really hope it's a parasite, then I know it's something we can treat and it won't return.
