My shepherd's dry eyes are red & cloudy. Need other treatment ideas.

Question

My shepherd has red around her eyes. And I’m the center is a bit cloudy. I seen a vet several times and they told me it was a case of dry eyes. They gave me an ointment and it seemed to help at first. Some days are better than others. Any suggestions on anything else I could use to help her eyes?

Eyes are so hard to take pictures of. However, Pannus is a common eye problem in the German Shepherd. It causes a significant change to the cornea. Usually is starts on the outside corner and works it’s way in. Sometimes it is dark brown pigment and sometimes it is more like blood vessels or white. I am suspicious that this may be what is causing the problem with Krystal. I would highly encourage you to seek a second opinion or go see a veterinary ophthalmologist. Pannus can be very aggressive, and usually needs lifelong medications to keep it in control. Of course this is just my suspicion and there are many other problems than can cause cloudiness and redness in the eyes. Best of luck and I hope she improves soon. Thank you for using Pet Coach.
