Dog eye dye test clear, but dye pooled. Should I recheck for ulcer?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Just left the vet for a possible eye issue with my dog. They used dye as is normal practice and it didn't show anything at the time but on the way home it seemed to congregate around a spot on her eye. I don't want to be *that* annoying client but I know enough to make me worry and I'm concerned we missed an ulcer.

Hello. That definitely does look like an ulcer. Please do not worry about being an annoying client. Things happen & not all patients & procedures work perfectly each & every time. Go in with a smile & just ask them if they would mind just rechecking things again. I know I would not mind. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
