Molly should be seen by a veterinary ophthalmologist. The area can be closely examined using specialized equipment your regular veterinarian may not have. Gentle debridement of the ulcer may be necessary to spur and facilitate healing. The ophthalmologist can perform a keratotomy or diamond burring if indicated. Place an e-collar (cone) on Molly if she isn't wearing one already to prevent pawing or rubbing.
