Answer 1

It sounds as if it might be Cherry Eye which is a condition which does occur in German Shepherds.

Less likely that it could be Pannus.
Take him to another vet for a second opinion.

Answer 2

Personally I would contact the rescue center direct, and surely if the problem was there went you first adopted him, the responsability partly lays with them.
Can I also say, that your question would be an awful lot easier to read if you used punctuation marks. Sorry to be picky but I had to read it at least 2 or 3 times to make any sense of it.

Answer 3

I would find another vet and keep looking untill I got an answer from someone . it does not seem like your vet has an answer and he or she is just guessing at this . I would not wait it could mean your dogs eyesight ,. good luck .

Answer 4

Personally,I'd get him to another vet asap.
Vets are people.People make mistakes.Especially when they're overworked and burned out.
A second opinion is never a bad idea.
