Use systemic high osmotic effluent to supplement blood osmotic pressure and reduce eye edema and intraocular pressure. 20% mannitol 1-2g/kg for intravenous injection, and 50% glycerol 1-2ml/kg can also be taken orally.

Drugs are mainly used to reduce the production of water and promote the discharge of water. Commonly used dichlorosulphonamide 10-30mg/kg, combined with mydriatic agent, such as dropping 1%-2% pilocarpine nitrate. Mydriatic drugs help to open the occlusion angle, improve the aquaculture circulation, and reduce intraocular pressure.

For narrow-angle glaucoma or angular atresia dogs that cannot reduce intraocular pressure and restore vision, surgical treatment should be considered. It is mainly used for iris incarceration, ciliary body separation, laser photocoagulation and other surgeries.

Each dog has different symptoms of glaucoma symptoms and the symptoms will also be different. The above is just a list of drugs, and not every case requires such treatment. Therefore, when taking medicine, you should strictly follow the doctor's advice and take medicine according to the actual situation. Do not take medicine by yourself. To avoid delaying the condition.
