My dog has an eye infection. I need advice, preferably from a trained Veterinarian.? Dog Breed Discussions
We moved from a small town (with amazing vets who were affordable) to the big city. There are just so many vets here it's hard to choose the right ones for us and it's so expensive!! One of my dog's eyes is red with greenish discharge. It doesn't appear to bother her or to be itchy. She is a 9 month old akbash/cross. I used a saline solution for about a week and it looked like it was clearing up but I took her to a vet just to be safe. He charged me $130 to have a look and he sent me home with an antibiotic gel (He said she didn't have any scratches/he checked with a dye). I used the gel for a week as directed. When I stopped using the gel for a day it came back (red/green discharge). So I decided to use the antibiotic up (really small little tube) for about another two weeks (on the advice of my mum and sister who have had similar issues with their dogs and to avoid another expensive vet bill) But once I stopped it came back!! What should I do. I know I will have to see another vet the cost is just crazy and I don't even know if I'm getting the best care. Any Advice?Thanks for the advice! I didn't realize that was standard cost, he didn't really break down what I was being charged for. Of course her eye is worth it! She's my baby and means the world to me. I should have taken her in at one week and will be taking her in ASAP.
