Had to have multiple platelet transfusions and they also put him on some sort of steroid after he got out of the hospital.

Anyways, just thought I would mention that since there's a very good chance your dog is having an allergic reaction to meds.
I spoke to my friend who is a vet tech, she said its probably a reaction and to bring him in the morning which Im going to do. She asked if he is eating and his usually self he is, he just looks like he has been playing with a meat grinder. My vet opens early at 7am and doc are in at 8am I will be there at 8 sharp. If its drugs hopefully there are other options or maybe his eye is as good as its gonna get and he can be off of them 3 weeks is a long time.
