Oh karlooben I hope you can save the other eye  :(. Have you any idea at this stage, what caused the uveitis?

not a clue i'm afraid , i have been reading about it an by the looks of it no one has really found out what truly does cause it . theres so many things out there it would be near on impossible to even try an stop it happening especailly if it is mites , or rats , bedding , etc the list goes on .
