Dog Eye Redness, Irritation with Raised Spot on Lens
by Marisa P.
(Temecula, CA)
Our 8 year old Cattledog/Chow mix Mattie presented with reddened sclera on one eye quite some time ago--probably a year or so. This eye is half blue/half brown and the redness is on the outer or brown side.
The redness seemed to be worse at night and gone or brownish in the morning. We resolved to watch it as we thought it might be a passing irritation from a scratch. The redness didn't seem to worsen or become consistent so we let it go.
Just this past week or two, we noticed a cloudiness and raised spot on the eye. The redness of the sclera is still consistently worse at night--bright red--and less irritated upon awakening. At first the spot appeared red and now has darkened to brown, but the area of cloudiness seems to have increased.
