one year old Chihuahua with lazy eye
Hello, our one year old Chihuahua named Piper has a lazy left eye and it seems a bit miss shaped. Both eyes water all the time. Her eye has been this way since they were open as a baby but seems to be worse than it used to. Our vet never said much about it when asked but it concerns it's as she is very much a family member. I will try to post a couple photos so the left eye can be zoomed in on. Interested in opinions on this.

I am not sure if I am seeing it clearly, but does it also bulge more? It not be and might be the angle of the pic, I'm can't tell.

Hi Lisa,
I don't think it actually does bulge out more. I think it's mostly the coloring and third eyelid that gives it that appearance. Regards Ken |

I can think of a couple of things, but there are most likely other possibilities....
That could be just her normal? There is an underlying tooth issue? I can't remember which tooth, or it might be several, but there is a connection between eye issues (like bulging) and certain teeth. My dog has the opposite - she has an eye that doesn't open as wide as the other - you can kinda see it here: http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f1...60048Large.jpg Turns out that this happen when her neck and/or jaw are out of alignment and she has to see the chiropractor (www.avcadoctors.com). However, I still am unsure if there should be that much more of the white showing - I don't see the third eyelid, that usually comes in diagonally from the bottom, but I just might not be seeing the picture right. If she were mine, I'd have her check by an eye vet: http://acvo.org/new/public/locate.shtml She has very pretty coloring |
