Ulcers on Eyes-Not a doodle but looking for info

[Diana Erhart]

Although not a doodle, my daughter's dog (a 2 year old maltese named Portia) was at her yearly check-up this afternoon and was diagnosed with ulcers in both of her eyes.  The vet told my daughter that she has lost alot of sight in one eye and a little in the other.  If they cannot get these ulcers stopped then Portia will go blind.  This is my daughter's version.  Not sure yet how much is exactly what the vet said and how much is my daughter in a panic over the news and her dramatization.  The vet gave her an eye drop (tobramycin ophthalmic solution) to use every 2 hours and will see Portia again next Saturday morning.  Luckily I will be in Dallas with her next Saturday to go along.  In the mean time I am looking for information/advice from anyone who knows about these ulcers, and to see if anyone knows of an opthomologist veterinarian in the Dallas/Ft. Worth, North Texas or Central Texas area that they can recommend.

It would be good to hear which Hill's Rx food the regular vet recommends; then we can look at the fat percentage on that food and match it. :-)

Turns out that the Dog Food Advisor has a list of the lowest fat foods, most of them between 10-12%, and there are a couple of Fromm formulas on there along with a couple of Blue Buffalo and some others from our recommended list: your DD's dog might like the Fromm Whitefish formula:
