Had no problem for the 24 hrs. = after the cleaning and was perfectly normal. Our other dog, Pixel also = had this same cleaning and is fine. There were no complications with = Browser's anesthesia and he was under and out of it in 15 minutes. Suddenly yesterday we saw the third eyelid completely covering his eyes = and we rushed him to the vet. Only his assistant vet was there (Sat. = naturally) and she thought it was an allergy and prescribed some = ointment. Hours later we felt this was not the correct diagnosis and took him to = the emergency clinic we have used before. The vet immediately took his = eye pressure and got him on a manitol IV drip and eye drops. Kept him overnight and now with the correct eyedrops, his pressure is = normal. He is home with us now and tomorrow must go to the vet = opthamologist. We are praying that his eyesight has been preserved. = His pupils are still enlarged so he is mostly keeping his eyes shut but = when he opens his eyes appears to be seeing. The breeder had her dogs = examined by a vet opthamologist to rule out her puppies carrying this = problem. No real research on this anesthesia causing glaucoma. Any insight on = any of this will be helpful. A warning to all as bassets are prone to = glaucoma and it is essential to catch this early. We hope are lucky and = will know more tomorrow. Know this must be treated and checked for = life.
