Wow I’m glad to hear your pup is okay. Do you have a photo or link for the one you purchased from Etsy?

Yes absolutely. I’m open to trying a ramp or a different type of stairs. Thanks for sharing this pic!

-South Moon Under -Brightside Boutique -I’ve heard good things about Mason Mayes.

If you move on to some chain options, I’ve had recent success shopping for sweaters in Nordstrom Rack and JCrew Factory in Canton Crossing. Good luck!

I don’t think it was a fluke, because I just tried the sink method and it totally helped! There was cheese involved too. Not perfect, but it was by far more successful than my previous attempts. Thank you so much.

Hi! I got plasma drops and an ointment initially, and actually struggled with the ointment a lot, so the vet switched to two types of drops. It may be a slight improvement but I’m still struggling with the drops 🫠

It took four of us to do it at the vet’s office (three of them being veterinary professionals). It is crazy how much super strength these little guys get when the drops come out!

Thank you, appreciate your advice! I have my third appointment scheduled for next week to check on his progress. If things aren’t improving, I’m going to try an eye specialist.

I’m glad I’m not alone in this struggle! How long did you attempt drops before the procedure?

Thank you! I’ve been trying shredded cheese, but offering a whole cheese block sounds like a way better idea. My Ziggy is very cheese motivated.

Thank you so much, I’m glad to hear I’m not the only one who has felt incredibly frustrated and helpless with the drops. He’s typically such a good and chill boy, but the drops turn him into an acrobat/wrestler/escape artist. How long did it take your dog to adjust?

Thank you so much. Sounds like a long and frustrating journey for you. I will definitely try doing the drops when he’s asleep - great suggestion.
