And the Eyes Have It!
Our pet’s vision is very important to them. It is a large part of what allows them to chase a tennis ball or bird-watch out the living room window. 
While many blind animals live happy lives, we certainly want to do everything in our power to keep our pets seeing well.
Eye problems can come on very quickly and cause serious, irreversible damage within a matter of hours. Many eye problems appear similarly in the early stages, making it difficult to know without an examination how pressing the problem is.
If you notice any of the following problems, be sure to notify your veterinarian right away. Waiting even a day or self-medicating can have serious consequences in certain situations.
- Squinting
- Pawing at or rubbing the eye
- Increased watery discharge
- Yellow or green discharge
- Uneven pupils or pupils that do not change with changes in lighting
- Change in the appearance of the eye’s surface (cornea)
- Redness around or in the eye
- Change in vision
