My senior Boston Terrier has cloudy eyes. What could be the cause?

Lily could have cataracts causing this cloudy pupil, but it could also be due to an eye infection or glaucoma. The eye is such a delicate and important structure that any problem with it should be considered an emergency. That's because leaving it untreated can lead to vision loss. I would have Lily seen by a vet immediately, who can diagnose what is causing her cloudy pupil and can discuss treatment options with you.

That may a corneal ulceration/ injury and requires an immediate check up. Boston terrier are unfortunately predisposed to corneal injury and an immediate check up could confirm or rule out dangerous melting ulcers which may result in a perforation.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Baylie! When it comes to eyes I consider any issue an emergency. Closing the eye indicates pain the glossy blue look like indicates inflammation of the cornea. Possible causes are: infection, allergies, a corneal ulcer, glaucoma or uveitis. A vet needs to diagnose the underlying issue as each is treated differently. I wish Baylie a speedy recovery!

Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. I would recommend having a veterinarian examine the eyes to check for any trauma and to see if she has adequate tear production. Dry eye can cause crusting and discomfort and could lead to serious corneal damage if not addressed early on. If there is an eye infection, the veterinarian can prescribe antibiotic eye drops to help treat this as well. 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.

Cloudiness in a two-year-old dog’s eyes is unusual. There can be many causes for cloudiness, from diseases that affect the lens of the eye to diseases that affect the cornea. I recommend to have Marley see his veterinarian to make sure that everything is OK. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions. If you think you can capture it in a photo, please resubmit.

I would recommend seeing a veterinarian to make sure she hasn't developed a secondary corneal ulcer which is common and may have caused the bleeding. If she does have an ulcer it could get worse quickly and if not treated could lead to permanent damage or even rupture of the eye so I'd recommend seeing your vet as soon as you can. I also wouldn't recommend using any drops other than the pressure drops until you can see the vet - steroids could make a corneal ulcer worse. If you have an e-collar for her you may want to put it on so she doesn't accidentally damage her eye further by rubbing it or bumping into something else. Unfortunately I don't think there is any medication that can help corneal dystrophy itself - some veterinarians will use hypertonic saline drops but they usually don't make much difference. You could consider seeing a veterinary ophthalmologist if you aren't already and they might have some other ideas for Dixie.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This could be due to an eye injury or conditions such as a corneal laceration and/or corneal ulcer. At least in these pictures, his cornea appears affected. I highly recommend that you have him evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Further therapy would be based on the findings. Good luck and best wishes!
