In fact, few people pay attention to the eye health of dogs, and dogs suffer from some eye diseases due to the negligence of pet owners. So, what are the common dog eye diseases? Below, the editor will take stock of the common eye diseases of dogs for pet lovers.

The most common disease of dog eyes: conjunctivitis

As you can tell from the name, conjunctivitis in pet dogs is an inflammation of the dog’s conjunctiva. Symptoms may include inability to open the eyes, watery eyes, red eyes, etc. Because the conjunctiva is a protective film covering the surface of the eye to block external stimuli, the first symptoms caused by external stimuli are conjunctival symptoms, such as dirt getting into the eyes, being smoked, being exposed to chemicals, etc. If the product is sprayed into the eyes, the first thing it causes is conjunctival inflammation.

Common eye diseases in dogs: keratitis

There has always been a saying that the eyes are the windows to the soul, and the cornea is the glass of the window. Many cases of keratitis are caused by traumatic stimulation, and there are also complications caused by infectious diseases such as canine distemper. The cornea should be transparent and clear. When a dog suffers from keratitis, the cornea will become cloudy and cause eye pain and tearing. But the difference from conjunctivitis is that the dog’s eyes should not look so red. The main symptoms are concentrated in the cornea in the middle of the eyeball.

Common eye diseases in dogs: Entropion

Entropion of the eyelids sounds like a serious disease. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is what we often call "trichiasis." The innermost side of the dog's upper eyelids turns inward, causing the eyelashes to get stuck in the eyes. Many dogs have this problem, which can be solved through surgery such as double eyelid surgery. Entropion of the eyelids will cause the dog's eyes to shed tears and blink all the time. If the eyelashes irritate the eyes for a long time, it will cause keratitis and conjunctivitis.

Common diseases of dog eyes: cataracts

Cataract is a disease that occurs in the lens of the dog's eye. It is a serious disease among the common eyes of dogs, because it can cause blindness in the eyes of dogs. There are many reasons for cataracts, some are congenital, some are caused by old age, or are caused by trauma, etc. When cataracts first develop, dogs do not have obvious vision problems. As the transparency of the lens weakens, vision will gradually be affected. If the dog is older, you should pay attention to the dog's eyeballs at ordinary times. If you find that they are not as bright or clear as before, you should be aware that the dog may have cataracts.

There are actually a few diseases that dogs’ eyes may get, but II think the probability of occurrence is relatively low, such as dry eye syndrome, ectropion, retinitis, glaucoma, etc., but I think the possibility of most dogs getting these diseases is still relatively small.
