Could Your Dog Have Glaucoma?
Check these glaucoma symptoms to diagnose your dog.
Any of the following symptoms in one or both eyes, even if the symptoms are temporary, can indicate glaucoma:
- glassiness to eye
- redness in the white part of eye
- cloudiness of the eye
- excessive tearing (weeping)
- sensitivity to light
- green or yellow eye discharge
- bluish cast to eye
- dilated pupil
- desire for excessive sleeping irritability
- behavior that indicates pain (hiding under the bed, acting frightened, avoiding being petted on the head)
- behavior indicating vision impairment (bumping into things)
- enlarged and bulging eyeball (late stage)
Don't ignore mere behavioral signs; take any and all symptoms seriously and seek veterinary medical attention.
