From the picture it looks like Bambi has catarats. However, other problems can accompany cataracts that I can’t evaluate from a picture. Secondary problems such as conjunctivitis, uveitis, and even glaucoma. Also diabetes can cause cataracts. I would highly encourage you to have her evaluated by your veterinarian soon. They may recommend anti inflammatory drops to keep the cataracts from causing other problems. Best of luck and thank you for using Pet Coach.
