The dog had an extensive eye corneal ulcer. 

Stitching up both eyelids (tarsorrhaphy) to protect the ulcer from exposure to light and dust for 10 days will result in a faster recovery than letting the eye be exposed to the sunlight and breezes.


This video shows Day 4 of treatment. Twice daily checks and applications of eye drops are performed for 10 days. The stitches will be taken out on Day 10 and a white scar should be seen.
