A blog for all things dog-related: training, behavior, fun new doggie items, veterinary information and, of course, ways to enhance your relationship with your best four-legged friend!
Dogs, just like people, can potentially develop a plethora of ocular (eye) problems. Some of these problems can immediately affect your dog’s vision, while others, if left untreated, can negatively impact your dog’s vision over time. It is always strongly advised that any ocular problems be evaluated immediately by your veterinarian. While your regular veterinarian is equipped to treat many ocular diseases, there are some cases that may require referral to a veterinary ophthalmology specialist. To get the lowdown on canine eye issues, I’ve consulted my veterinarian friend Dr. Alisha Selzner from Companion Pet Hospital in Fishkill.
The eye is a very complex structure, with many different anatomical parts and functions. Therefore, it’s best left to the professionals who understand this anatomy and can assess the eyes in an educated manner.
