My dog has a film over its eye. What could it be and what to do?

From the photos, my main suspicion is that at some point, Frodo developed a corneal ulcer or abrasion that has resulted in inflammation on the surface of the eye, followed by chronic scarring changes, such as pigmentary keratitis. With a thorough eye exam, your vet will be able to determine if any active corneal ulcers are present, check Frodo's eye pressure and tear production to determine if any other issues are present. I hope that all goes well!

These could be a signs of a corneal ulceration. I would recommend an immediate check up as Pugs are particularly predisposed to a type of ulcer called ''melting ulcer'', which is a particularly nasty type and could deteriorate very rapidly. Antibiotics eye drops may be needed. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.

This looks like a corneal ulceration. The white film is a mixture between the lesin itself and the attempt of healing. Chloramphenicol 0,5% three times daily (it needs to be stored in the fridge) and then (after 10 ms) a gel to protect the eye (like Viscotears liquid gel or similar) can be used in the meantime. Please take another (closer this time if you can) pic of the eye so we can give you more specific suggestions about it. Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further. Please find the time to give us a feedback about the consultation as that will be used to improve our service.

Without being able to see what the film looks like, it's hard to say what this might be. Obi may have allergies, an eye infection, or some other type of eye problem such as corneal dystrophy or anterior uveitis. I would recommend having his eyes checked by a vet as soon as you are able to - he/she can do a complete ophthalmic exam and may also do some testing if needed to help determine the problem and see what needs to be done to treat it.

Hello and thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. The cornea in the left eye looks very abnormal. I suspect this a corneal ulcer but it is hard to be sure without full clinical examination. The right eye does not look as bad but there is also abnormal looking cornea. Please, take Rey to your local vets taking all the necessary precautions against Covid-19. She should be seen by a vet right away.

This is not normal, the cloudiness is due to swelling and the dark color is likely pigmentation, the eyes response to ongoing irritation and scarring. Please have her assessed to determine the underlying cause such as ulcers, dry eye or inturned eyelids. Urgent treatment is required to relieve pain and restore sight

Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. In pugs, this is a normal thing to see. There is increased pigmentation (melanin) deposited on the eye. Pugs can develop pigmentary keratitis, in which a dark film develops over the eye itself. This does not cause any pain and unfortunately there is nothing you can do to make this go away or slow down the progression. If the eye becomes irritated, you can use steroid drops. Something that a vet would need to prescribe Dexter after examining him. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
