My dog was diagnosed with SCCED/indolent ulcer. Debridement had been performed accordingly and his eye got shut by medical stapler. One of the two staplers fall off after 5 days and I got to see his eye and it looked worse. It became bluish and cloudy which didn’t happen before the debridement and the medical stapler. Is it a part of healing procedure or should I take him to other vet? It looks red in dark + flash, but cloudy and blue with light, during the day.

Blue and cloudy discoloration could be due to an inflammation and accumulation of fluid in the anterior chamber of the eye. It is impossible for us to tell whether the eye is improving or not as a physical examination would be needed. After surgery a certain grade of inflammation is expected anyway. I would recommend a check up to make sure there is no deterioration of the corneal indolent ulcer.
