My dog's deep corneal ulcer cloudiness faded. Is it healing too fast?

Question

Gizmo had a deep corneal ulcer in his left eye and I took him to the Emergency Vet Sunday morning and they gave him tobramycin. I also rechecked with my regular vet yesterday and she prescribed him REMEND CORNEAL REPAIR gel. I noticed today that his cloudiness is fading away but you can still see the ulcer. Is it supposed to heal that fast? Pet's info: Dog | Shih Tzu | Male | neutered | 13.6 lbs

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Gizmo! The cloudiness likely just indicated the edema in the cornea. That can go away quickly. Superficial (not deep) corneal ulcers heal in 5-7 days. Since you can still see the ulcer and since it was deep I do not think the ulcer itself is healed yet, just the surrounding cornea. Be sure to follow up as recommended by your Vet. I hope this helps and I wish Gizmo a speedy recovery!
