Dog eye problem?

2020-09-02 12:17 am
My husky's eye is hurt. The vet says it is some sort of trauma and that she needs eye drops and vaseline to be put on her hurt eyeball. It looks less black than her normal eye and she doesn't like to open it up. I gave her a treat and she opened her eyes and I noticed her good eye was more dialated than the bad one. 

I'm almost 100 percent sure the problem happened because I have another dog who is small and they have a bad relationship - a love hate kind of deal. The husky likes to get down on her level and howl/paw at her to get a reaction. Small dog reacts bad every time, she must have clawed at her eyes and hurt her.

Do things like this heal? Will she be blind in one eye now? The biggest thing is that her bad eye looks really cloudy and that worries me a lot. It's a dark grey not a black like normal.

Also any tips on how I should administer the vaseline (they make us put it on her eyeball with our finger). She will resist more if her energy level comes back I'm sure and I don't want to put her on sleepy pills.

I am going to agree with everybody else.  I have had several eye problems in dogs as well as trauma injuries (my vet WAS an ophthalmology specialist) and she NEVER suggested anything as pedestrian or icky as thick Vaseline - which is unlikely to even be STERILE... if you are using some you have to keep sticking your finger down into, from home.  The veterinary ointments USUALLY Rx'd are to be put into the eye as **** instructed.  

You need a SECOND OPINION from a vet specialist in eyes (aka veterinary ophthalmology).  You did not even get a clear and EXACT DIAGNOSIS as to what happened to the dog's eye - as TYPE of injury so you cannot even GOOGLE more info.  Nor were your questions about whether the dog may go BLIND - even addressed!!!  Your vet could give you a referral, or you can search for another vet online or at the closest local VET School.  I DO NOT think you've been given the BEST medical treatment (or advice) concerning the eye injury.Obviously, you (also) need to put a barrier up and separate the dogs. This behavior between them HAS TO STOP!  In defense of the older smaller dog, Huskies are known to have HIGH PREY DRIVE and smaller pets are often NOT SAFE with this breed. If the bad interaction doesn't stop, one will have to re-homed.

If you're in or near a larger city, PLEASE ask for a referral to a veterinary ophthalmologist and try to get her in to one today. Eye injuries aren't something you want to mess around with. We've dealt with several eye injuries among our dogs, and never has a vet instructed to place vaseline or anything else into the eye with a finger, which seems highly questionable to me. There are thick, sterile, petroleum-based ointments meant to put in the eye that are used, but a line of it is squeezed straight from the tube into the lower eyelid, which is held away from the eye. Then the eyelid is closed and ointment gently rubbed around to cover under the lids. You don't want to introduce even more bacteria into the eye. Whether the eye recovers or not depends on the severity of the injury and the efficacy of the treatment.  

You also really need to stop the husky harassing the small dog, even if that means you physically separate them at all times or that one gets a new home.

While Vaseline is technically non-toxic for dogs I would question ANY VET who tells you to put it on her eyeball. Even though it's safe, Vaseline can feel uncomfortable. Because it's thick, it can also make vision blurry if you get it in your eyes.... I would be speaking to another vet and certainly would NEVER put it on my dogs eyeball

I think you need a second opinion there, preferably a vet who has qualified in eye problems.   I've never heard of vaseline being applied, by a finger, to the eyeball, for starters.  What about the risk of infection if you do that!!    I've had two with ulcerated cornea, the first being treated with drops which didn't work and he went on to having the third eyelid stitched across, to make a bandage which even if he managed to open it up, had managed to achieve a 90% heal.

The other had ulcerated cornea in both eyes (how this happened, like the other one, I have no idea, especially affecting both eyes) but they healed with drops.

Why would you get a Husky with a small dog. Huskies are for people that are advanced dog owners and can meet their requirements.

Once again, a VETERINARIAN treated your dog.  There are no VETERINARIANS here.  Just a random thought, but shouldn't the VETERINARIAN who treated your dog, has diagnosed the issue, be giving you advice?

Who MAKES you put the vaseline on her eyeball?  You take her in every day and the Vet supervises you?

I have no idea if she will lose her sight.  Again, the Vet may have a clue or two.  Ask him/her.

You get some vaseline on your finger & you rub it off on the dogs eye lashes & gently rub it in.  It will not transfer to the eyeball cause the eyeball is wet but enough will work its way in if you get enough on there.  The vaseline will keep the eye lashes from sticking together as the goop comes out of her eye.  The crap won't get stuck & cause more problems.

I train my dogs to allow me to do anything I need to do to them or for them.  No dog is going to dominate me,  I am Alpha & I make it very clear where there are no doubts.
