Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Not a pro review writer so please ignore the errors but I want to share this. Love my dogs to much and this is for others who are kind of sick like me. My Aussie was almost killed when he chewed on a cord. He was like a board for about 15 minutes and finally started coming to. Few months after that he started to go blind. He had huge cataracts and could no longer see. Took him to a very respected dog optometrist a few hours away and he confirmed my fears that he was basically blind. I scheduled to have the surgery done that day to get him fixed. Was something like 4k which is way to much for me but like I said I love my dogs. Wife was not to keen on the idea and she did some research and found this can be very painful for the dog on a long term basis and there was a 10% chance he would lose the eye so I started looking and found these drops. They worked! On February 11th we started to give him these drops. Two a day twice a day once in the morning and once at night. ALSO I got a prescription for Prednisolone Acetate Ophthalmic Suspension and also gave one drop of that twice a day also once in the morning and once at night. Didn't really see any benefits at all for the first four or five weeks but I's say at about week five his left eye started clearing up and he could actually follow my finger around when I would move it in front of him(omg you have no clue how excited I was). Also the white of his eyes still looked really healthy which is important because from what I read once that goes the eye is to far gone. Need to clarify this as well during those five weeks I was fighting with his eyes going blood shot now and then and I could see he was hurting so I would back off for a day if needed and kept a very close eye on those veins in the whites of his eye. Changed things up after week five as I had progress in one eye and nothing really in his left eye. Was not getting worse but not getting better. One thing I noticed the first five weeks is you waste a ton of drops because once the first one is in the next one just drips out no matter how I held his lids. So this is what I did I went to just one drop a day at night of the Prednisolone because that has a steroid and I don't know the potential long term effects and he didn't like the light when I put that in his eye. Got the big bottle much cheaper and I know I'm going to be doing this now probably for several months. Also I use the Can-C four times a day one drop in each eye and I split it up as much as possible. I still get sometimes where there was a little red and he was uncomfortable so on two of the days since I didn't give him and Prednisolone and just two drops of Can-C once in the morning at once at night. Basically no red problems now for about three weeks. Now for the crazy good news nine weeks in and he can see out of both eyes. He can run after a ball. He can see deer and birds in the field. He doesn't run into the house or garage anymore. And for good grief he no longer misses the door when running into the house. Left eye is still better than his right but that huge cloud that was in the left is no wear near as intense and his eyes actually get bigger and smaller as they are supposed to depending on the light conditions. No longer just stays big. One downside right now is right close up he can't see very good. I mean he knows it is there but if I hold a treat in front of him he sometimes misses it really sucks up close but he can see really good from like 10' and further. Going to keep going and I will update this more if anyone wants to know how it is going or if I mix it up again. Folks I really don't believe in all this voodoo crap but I'm telling you for my dog it 100% worked and I say 100% because although not perfect it is fun to see the difference in my little buddy again. I'm not an expert. I don't know if you will have the same results. I don't know if it worked because I did exactly what I did or if you don't have to be so rigid. If you do this remember this so you don't have to learn what I did: 1. Split the drops up the best you can. don't do one right after the other it is not as effective and your dog will get used to it and not care after a while anyways. 2. Be patient keep an eye on the whites if they are not getting nasty looking I think you have time yet. Patience is a huge factor. 3. Watch for the red veins and back off if you can. Another thing along with this is if he rubs his eyes with his paws maybe back off a little I did and it hurt nothing. When the whites get nice looking again go back at it. 4. Take a ball and play with them every day. Might not see anything for several weeks and then one day he tears off after it. You will smile and be happy beyond belief if it works out. 5. Maybe go heavy with the steroid product at first like I did and then cut in half. I'm sure that was a factor but that one will mess with the eyes more than the Can-C be very careful just watch closely. 6. Say a little prayer for your buddy I did and it is working out. Again though I don't want to hurt your animal so if you want to try this think about it or ask your vet to see if I'm nuts. Telling you though it worked for me and I stand 100% on my results.
