For those who used Can-C for their dogs with cataract in one or both eyes, how long did it take to see improvement in vision and cataract?

This is a strange but true reply. I got the Can-C for an aging dog. It did help his vision tremendously in just a couple of weeks. He was able to live his last days seeing enough to enjoy getting outside again without sniffing his way around and barely taking steps. He was able to actually walk fast and to see things clearly enough to go after them... like other dogs. Sadly he did not get to enjoy this for long, he developed seizures and they were numerous, and being he was old and already fragile I had to have him put to sleep because he was miserable.

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I suspected as much, so I have just been using one at a time. Nice to know that I needed to, and should continue to, in the wide angle range.

Hello Pedro M. - Sorry to take so long.. I counted on my calendar where I write everything down and each bottle lasts about 20-21 days for me. so that will be 42 days for each package.. I absolutely can see better and will be going for eye check up 1st of September and am going to ask if my doctor if she still sees the beginnings of cataracts.. I will have taken these drops about 6 months by then.. Hope this helps..

I am not sure...am scheduled to have cataracts removed and that has a pretty significant impact...your reason is the same as my reason for getting it in the first place...so far I think it will be a go. A previous answer about needing an overhead light on May be correct.

I actually saw a difference in my dog after a few weeks, and I have seen continued improvements 2-3 months out. I have noticed that missing a day or changing the time that I give him his daily dose has led to accidents in the house. Hope this helps!

My Shih Tzu just had back surgery a month ago. I was going to have the vet do K-Laser therapy to help speed the healing process, but started hearing good things about red light therapy. I have this unit and I emailed the company that I bought it from (not this one) and he said to put it directly on or slightly above the incision for 5 minutes a day. He only weighs 9 or 10 pounds. I tried it on him last night for the first time and he seemed to like it. We will see.

I've never had any problems with it. I use one for me and one for a couple of my dogs who have dry eye. It often goes past 30 days and works fine.

For me it didn't work instantly. I believe this is because I have a problem with total closure of one eye. But like with any product the solution lies with the individual.

When we first started giving our cat Azodyl it was hit or miss that he would ingest the capsule until we began administering it by oral syringe. Then it took around 3-4 weeks along with Epakitin. Except for giving him his medications and sub-q fluids you would never know that he has kidney disease. He was diagnosed a little over a year ago. He is down to one Azodyl capsule per day, one scoop(that comes in the container)of Epakitin and 100cc's of sub-q fluids. All had been double a year ago. Cost is minimal now. Any other questions please ask, I will try to help.

I agree with the other answers. Each animal will vary. We had a 60 lb GS/ACD mix. I doubled the dose as directed. I think somewhere around Day 10 I started to lose heart and believe I bought into a bunch of hype but decided to at least finish the bottle before passing judgement. Very shortly after this, maybe at the beginning of week two, he woke up a different dog one morning!

My husband said it works better and lasts longer stored in the fridge. He really likes this stuff. He just had an eye appt and the Doctor said his eyes are doing great

Yes, first use the center adjustment to get it focused correctly for the left eye...now close your left eye and look only thru your right eye and adjust the right eyepiece until it comes into focus. Now you should be able to see clearly with both eyes!

I hate when I can't given even a semi-informative answer. Years ago, I ordered a product that I could get only from the Czech Republic. It was for my dog, but I did human tests on myself first, hoping to learn whether or not it might hurt the canine. I'm sure the cataract care wouldn't hurt your dog, and, as our fine furry friends aren't eager to follow package direction, I think I'd try putting in his food. I hope the best for both of you!

I have used only one small bottle of the carnosine eyedrops. I take lots of vitamins for the eyes, lutein etc. I am 87 yrs old and still drive. My eye doctor says my cataracts have been stable for several years.

Definitely used it through eyepro- take the time to fully focus for distance viewing beforehand to save time though. If you use prescription lenses/inserts it will work with you as well, again take the time to focus it both settings in a "stress free" environment.

We have 4 dogs of various ages, it really has seemed to make a difference. Our 11 year old is perkier and our girl with dry eyes is not having as many issues. I have become a firm believer. We trade off between this and Krill oil.

I think each bottle lasts a month. It is expensive, but it has helped postpone cataract surgery so far. My cataracts are the same size they were almost 10 years ago, "very small" is the way the ophthalmologist describes them.
