Golden retriever has eye issues. Can I fix them at home or see a vet?

Hello, sorry to hear about Sandy. It does sound like this could be Horners syndrome which can be idiopathic or caused by trauma, a mass, or a brain lesion. Because of how long it has been going on, Sandy should be evaluated by your veterinarian to test for other neurologic deficits. If there are none, then this may be idiopathic horners which may take a long time to resolve. In the interim, Sandy should be having eye lubricant applied into her affected eye as most often, these dogs are unable to blink. Hope this helps and best of luck

Hi there and thank you for using PetCoach to address your concern. What you are seeing is likely Horner's syndrome and not cherry eye. Horner's syndrome does not cause any harm and there can be multiple causes. I would recommend having a veterinarian examine Buffy so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. Ear infections can lead to this syndrome and trauma as well. If Buffy managed to run into something or fall and hit her head, this could also have lead to the syndrome. This will likely resolve on its own over the next week or so. Please visit the following link below for more information on this syndrome. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further. http:// www.vin.com/apputil/project/defaultadv1.aspx?id=4951369&pid=19239&catid=&said=1&publicpath

Hi there and thank you for using pet coach to address your concern. You may have caused some inflammation or direct trauma to some facial nerves leading to symptoms of horners syndrome. This typically resolves with time. To be on the safe side, I would recommend having this evaluated by a veterinarian so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. 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.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Bentley. It is difficult to tell from the picture as I cannot clearly see his pupil. He could have a condition known as Horner's syndrome though. The affected eye will have a constricted pupil, droopy eyelid, an elevated third eyelid and the eye will appear sunken. If this is the case, it is a neurologic condition and it will not respond to the medication provided. In most cases there is no underlying cause and it will spontaneously resolve in several weeks. However, it would be wise to have his veterinarian confirm this is the case and that no further treatment is necessary. I hope this information helps!

Hello. Oh, dear, having breathing issues can be very serious. We have to think about heart or lung issues, including heartworm disease, bronchitis, pneumonia, or even heart failure. You do not mention how old your pet is as this may rule out some conditions, but any breathing issues are serious. The eye discharge can also be a reflection of a pet feeling unwell. I would strongly recommend having your vet examine your golden. Some problems can be eliminated/diagnosed pretty quickly & hopefully, any required treatments can be started & your pet will be feeling better very soon. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

It looks like Grace's third eyelid is up more then her eye is drooping. I would recommend a veterinarian. SHe may just have some irritation or infection in her eye but she could also have scratched her cornea. With eyes, I always recommend having the animals see a veterinarian to make sure there is nothing serious going on. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

I would recommend taking Remington to your vet as soon as possible. Most dogs will squint if the eye is painful. The pictures make it look like he may have a skin infection beside his eye, and I'm concerned if he is squinting he may have an infection or irritation in his eye as well. The diarrhea may be related to what is going on with his eye or may be caused by something else, like intestinal parasites, eating something he shouldn't have, or bacterial or viral infection. Regardless, I think it would be best you take him in to get checked out and get some treatment for both his eye and diarrhea.
