Clinagel Ciloxan QID . acular bid . as long as the IOP is low . there is a tonopen conversation factor you can use radius of corneal curvature being very different to cats and dogs. I would also think about ultrasound with a 12.5mHZ hockey stick probe if you have one. Retrobulbar disease can be subtle and just displace the globe enough to make blinking difficult/uncomfortable without an obvious distortion. If the ulcer is not healing or responding you can use an algebrush and a BCL but make really sure you not locking in an FB anywhere or some adnexal injury/cyst/damage

Awww, poor bun! I’ve used atropine sulphate 1% topically before - if there is miosis. Could there be haematogenous spread of pasteurella (any chronic respiratory issues?)....if so, systemic antibiotics maybe? I’d also use metacam twice daily at higher dose, can use alongwith tramadol at 10mg/kg. We’ve also just recently got hold of a buprenorphine syrup...if responding well to vetergesic, might be good for discharging with?? Keep an eye out for gut stasis if pain uncontrolled also!

You could increase the metacam dose, and definitely give it BID - I've used up to 1mg/kg. I've also used oral tramadol.

As regards the eye... I'll leave that advice to the ophthalmologists!
