Luna’s Eye Follow-up
Luna got to go on a field trip to the eye vet last week for a re-check of the obstructed gland in her eyelid. I was feeling fairly confident that they would not have to drain the gland because it had greatly reduced in size since we started her on the prescribed medication. However, the bump was not 100% gone so I was unsure what they were going to say about that.
Luna's eye doc was pleased with Luna's progress and suggested that we up the NeoPolyDex drops that she gets in that eye from every other day to twice a day. Easy enough. We will do that and in 4-5 weeks Luna gets to go back to see how things are doing.
The only difficult thing has been remembering the new drop schedule. Luna has been on her current schedule for a little over a year now so breaking our routine has been a bit tricky.
Here is Luna's new drop schedule:
- Tacrolimus: 1 drop both eyes, twice a day
- Cyclosporine: 1 drop in the left eye once a day
- NeoPolyDex: 1 drop in the left eye every other day, 1 drop in the right eye twice a day
- Genteal Ointment: At least one drop in the right eye each day. May administer whenever the right eye is looking dry.
I’m sure I was put on this earth to be a pug mom and foster mom! And yes, spreadsheets are my friends

Great news for Little Luna
My Ellie had so many eye meds at one point that I had to create a check off sheet to keep track of it all. It worked well. So glad to hear the good news for Miss Luna!
