Dog eye cloudiness and diminished vision

Hi Jill,
The photo you submitted only shows ONE eye. if both eyes are involved, I would not suspect an injury but more of a systemic illness.

In the picture you sent that shows her RIGHT eye, it looks like a condition called Pannus. This is an auto-immune disease that attacks the cornea and creates a pigment that covers the cornea.

If untreated, it can lead to blindness. Conventional treatment usually involves cortisone eye drops and immune-suppressing drugs, like cyclosporine.

Since she is nursing, treatment with homeopathic remedies would be preferred over conventional medicine.

First though, I would advise you to take Ula to a veterinary ophthalmologist to confirm the diagnosis. It may be something else! Then seek a holistic veterinarian for therapy.

You must improve her diet. If she is nursing, she needs to be on PUPPY food diet, either a canned or raw diet. This is NOT time to give her a weight loss or reducing diet.

Another resource for vets knowledgeable in homeopathy is AVH.org.

Take care,

Dr. Carol Jean Tillman

Your little Min Pin’s eye looks just like my 8 year old min pin’s eye… well, both of his eyes. Although, with his situation he was diagnosed diabetic 2 months ago and developed what the vet says is cataracts what seemed overnight and is completely blind now 🙁 It makes me sad but other than that he seems healthy… We are still adjusting as it’s only been a few weeks. I was just looking online for eye issues similar to his to see if there was anything natural I could do for my Mojo’s eyes… I didn’t see when your post was from but I hope you found some answers for your little baby.

Take care.
