How does a dog's cloudy eye with blood vessels heal and resolve?

Question

Hi, Beau is on Opthalmic Ointment. He has a partially cloudy cornea with blood vessels branching into it. It doesn't seem to bother him, so I wanted to know what the healing process will be like and how do I know that the problem has been resolved. I have read that the haziness is fibrosis and will not go away, so does that mean the problem is resolved once the blood vessels go away? Thank you. Pet's info: Cat | Korat | Male | neutered | 13 years and 9 months old | 9.6 lbs

Than you for submitting your question regarding Beau. Based on your description, it sounds like he be receiving treatment for a corneal ulcer. This is a scratch across the surface of the eye. In this case, the cloudiness is swelling of the cornea. The vessels are coming in to help heal the lesion. If this is in fact his problem, there is an eye drop available to help reduce the cloudiness of the eye. Typically the vessels resolve as the eye heals. However, a small scar may remain. You may ask your veterinarian for a prescription for the drop. It is a very concentrated form of saline. If he is experiencing a different problem, then you may want to submit your question again with more information. I hope this helps!
