Know Thy Eye Disorders The following eye-related disorders are commonly seen in dogs: Conjunctivitis: One or both of your dog’s eyes will look red and swollen, and there may be discharge. Dry Eye: Diminished tear production can cause corneal inflammation, squinting and discharge. Cherry Eye: An enlarged tear gland forms a cherry-like mass on the dogs eye. Epiphora: An overflow of tears creates stains on the dog’s facial fur. Glaucoma: The cornea becomes cloudy and the eye enlarges due to an increased pressure in the eyeball. Ectropion: A turning outward of the upper eyelid causes the lower lid to droop. Entropion: A rolling in of the eyelid causes discharge and tearing. Cataract: An opacity on the lens of the eye can cause impaired vision and possible blindness. Progressive Renal Atrophy: Caused by degeneration of retinal tissue—night blindness is often its first sign. -jo
