Temporary Cloudy Dog Eye

by Kim N.
(Houston, TX)

Right eye - cloudy

This is the second time my dog's right eye has turned cloudy for 1 day or 2 days. It then goes back like the left eye. When I clean her eye it can hurt her if I am not careful.

My dog (mix) is 12 years old. She weights 10 pounds.

Please advise what cause this cloudy in her eye? And what can I do?

Thanks

My Online Vet Response for: Temporary Cloudy Dog Eye
by: Dr. Carol Jean Tillman

Hi Kim,

The photos you sent are not very clear. But from what I can see, especially considering your dog's age, and that she has pain in that eye, I am concerned that she has corneal edema and she may have luxated the lens in her eye.

I suggest that you take her to a veterinary ophthalmologist as soon as possible.

Please keep us posted by coming back to this page and clicking the 'click here to add your own comments' link below.

Take care,
Dr. Carol Jean Tillman
