Older Boxers get cornea problems it's said. Any details? Cures?

Question

My boxer gets eye irritations that don't respond to conjunctivitis treatment. She's 9 yo, healthy except for the skin tumors that plague this breed. Exam shows only roughened cornea surface, mostly on one eye. No injuries or FBs.

Answer 1

"Treatment For Corneal Ulcers In Dogs and Cats
Most veterinarians will begin treating corneal ulcers in dogs and cats with appropriate antibiotic ointment or drops. The use of cortisone or cortisone-related medications may not be a good choice to use due to the possibility of delayed healing and a worsening of the ulcer. It pain is evident, Atropine or other antispasmodic medications may also be dispensed. The dog or cat's dewclaw, if present, may need to be bandaged to prevent the dewclaw from doing further damage to the irritated cornea as the patient wipes across the offending eye. Rechecking the eye in five days and then another five days usually demonstrates that proper healing has taken place. A negative stain uptake upon use of the Fluorescein stain will indicate if additional treatment is needed.

Some breeds of dogs, notoriously Boxers and Boston Terriers, often have very unresponsive corneal healing activity. These cases of poorly healing corneal ulceration need to be monitored closely and special selection of adjunctive medications, such as topical Vitamin E and other medications, may need to be tried to stimulate corneal epithelium regeneration."
