Dog has one cloudy eye

Hi Robert,
Your chihuahua appears to have cloudiness of the CORNEA of his left eye; this is NOT a cataract. And from the photo, the LEFT eye looks larger than the right eye, which can be an indication of GLAUCOMA.

Glaucoma is not a condition that can be treated at home. A veterinary ophthalmologist can measure the pressure in his eye to confirm if it is glaucoma, and treat accordingly. This is a condition that can be very painful, and cause blindness if left untreated.

Moo moo eye issue is all well now. It was an infection and the local vet gave us eye drops for 2 weeks and he got cured. (I don’t know what kind of drops cause Moo Moo belongs to my daughter and she’s the one who has the drops). Thanks!

Hi Robert,
Thank you so much for the update on Moo Moo. I am very glad to find out it was NOT glaucoma or anything worse, and that he has recovered completely!

Take care,
Dr. Carol Jean Tillman
