Remember a few months ago when I reported my treatment "cure" for my big
Severums popeye? Someone posted about their vet puncturing around the eye
socket with a syringe to bring down the pressure. I tried it myself, and he
was perfect in everyway in a couple of weeks. Well guess what? It's back,
and worse than ever! He was fine for months. Anyone have a guess as to why?
Maybe just plain old age, and the puncture was temporary?


It was me who told you about puncturing around the eye. The problem
may be a recurring infection, it's impossible to tell. Is the water
sparkling clean? The trouble with relieving the pressure is that the
eye becomes more sensitive to infection because the barrier is
punctured. It should have healed completely within a day. Try one
puncture to relieve the pressure again. Make sure the needle is
sterile.
