Has Merlot been diagnosed?

Are there any signs of diabetes?

[kadeshi]

thanks for the concern.she has been getting treated for glaucoma for 6 weeks now.8 drops a day with trusopt and pilocarpine.next step is going to a specialist eye clinic in leominster.but im a bit unsure with sedating her for the eye exam because of her existing heart condition and her age.but if she needs it then so be it

[kadeshi]

thanks for asking,still on the eye drops and regular checkups with my vet.have to get her weight down a little bit before she gets her eye examined(she is a bit on the portly side)but she is 11 nearly.so she be on a strict diet and extra exercise until shes lost a t least a couple of kilo.due to her having to go under sedation for the eye scans and tests,it will be in her better interest also she has an enlarged heart,so better to be safe i think,poor babys more bothered about where half of her dinner has gone,not her eye.bless.but any sudden changes then it will be straight of to the specialist.she still has vision in it,it just looks(no pun)weird.
