Product Case Study: Vetrix EyeQ Amniotic Eye Drops
If you often treat patients in your practice with corneal ulcers and defects, then Vetrix EyeQ Amniotic Eye Drops may be a solution for you to offer them. These eye drops promote healing, modulate inflammation, and provide long-lasting lubrication. Keep reading to see how they helped a 9-year-old terrier mix canine from losing his eye.
The Patient & The Problem
After trying every medication recommended by their primary veterinarian, pet owners were referred to Board Certified Veterinary Ophthalmologist, Dr. Kirsten Steele. Their dog’s eye condition was continuing to get worse. If his condition didn’t improve, his eye would need to be removed.
Before trying Vetrix EyeQ Amniotic Eye Drops, Dr. Steele used various treatment methods that yielded no improvement to the dog’s corneas. She then started treatment using Vetrix EyeQ in the eye with ulcers, intending to treat both the ulcer and the inflammation. Within two weeks, the owners reported the corneal ulcers completely healed. Their dog would no longer need to have his eye removed.
Vetrix EyeQ Amniotic Eye Drops—The Solution
After reporting an increase in comfort while on the Amniotic Eye Drops, Dr. Steele recommended use in both eyes to treat the dry eye. She started the dog out on a TID medication schedule and then decreased to BID. Dr. Steele reported that while the eyes were not producing tears and were still a bit inflamed, there was a reduction in blepharospasm. She decided to keep the pet on traditional tear stimulant medications to help with conjunctival goblet cell health.
Dr. Steele achieved complete healing of the ulcers using Vetrix EyeQ Amniotic Eye Drops and restarted a topical steroid and antibiotic combination to treat the remaining inflammation. She reported that the Eye Drops were an effective solution for a patient that wasn’t responding to traditional treatments for dry eye.
The Part We Love
The owners are overjoyed and relieved that their dog doesn’t have to have his eye removed. They’re also grateful that his ulcers and dry eye are under control, that he is no longer in pain, and that his eyesight is improving. Now he can be the energetic and playful pup he once was.
