Anterior Uveitis

Dodger's eyes swelled shut last night. Now he can barely keep them open in a lit room. The doctor diagnosed him with with Anterior Uveitis. It's fairly common, hard to prevent and can have any one of the following causes:

• Metabolic
• Neoplastic
• Immune mediated
• infectious
• traumatic
• miscellaneous

He falls under the miscellaneous category.
So... basically they just medicate him for all of the above, hope for the best, and see what happens.

Bottom line? We just paid for a diagnosis of "swollen eyelids."

I shoulda been a vet.
