    • You should wash his eye every day with saline salution - you can buy it almost anywhere for contacts - make sure its just saline and water.You may need to get more medication. From what I know blue filmy eyes is a sign of blindness.

    • This blue film is usually referred to as a cloudiness of the eye. Your dog may have glaucoma or Anterior Uveitis or a corneal ulcer or cataracts. Symptoms of Glaucoma include conjucntivits (red eye), discharge from the eye, light sensativity, possible swollen eye. As the condition worsens and pressure increases, the pupil can dilate and the cornea becomes cloudy. It is important to diagnose this early to save the dog’s sight in the eye. Depending upon the underlying cause for the Glaucoma, the other eye could also be at danger as well. Treatment depends upon identifying the underlying cause for the increased pressure in the eye. You can read more about this here; http://www.petplace.com/dogs/glaucoma-in-dogs/page1.aspx Symptoms of Anterior Uveitis are similar and include redness, tearing, squinting in bright light, small or uneven pupil, cloudy appearance to the eye and a unevenly colored iris. Treatment for this condition may be topical or oral medication depending on the cause. You can read more about this here: http://www.petplace.com/dogs/anterior-uveitis-in-dogs/page1.aspx A corneal ulcer may also be to blame and may be caused by injury, eyelashes scratching the eye and has similar symptoms to those of glaucoma and anterior uveitis. The third eyelid frequently covers the eye so sometimes the eye is not able to be seen.

However, some cloudiness as a dog ages is normal and called nuclear sclerosis. If you wish to save his sight, he really does need to see a specialist so an accurate diagnosis can be determined and treatment plan decided on.

    • I hope you didn't pay a lot for this dog you got from a BYBer. You got a dog that is to young,should still be with mom and litter mates till at least 12 weeks 14-16 is even better with tiny breeds. and you bought a dog with an eye problem. If I was you I would take it back, and tell "breeder"you changed your mind and look else where. Other wise you will have a lifetime of medical expenses with this dog.
