My puppy has a droopy eye and white flecks in a circle around her iris. I've only had her 4 days. She's 14 weeks old Great Dane. No discharge coming from the eye. The yellow in the pic is from dye

HI, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Lola! Lola's eye is very abnormal. I wonder if it is something genetic like early cataracts. Has the eye been abnormal since you got her? I would highly recommend that you see a Veterinary Ophthalmologist. Your Veterinarian should be able to refer you. be sure your Vet checked her intra-ocular pressure, danes are prone to glaucoma. It appears you took her to the Vet and they stained the eye for an ulcer. They can also get rolling in or rolling out of the eye lids. I hope this helps in some way, but if she was my dog I would see a specialist. Good luck!
