Why is my dog blind in one eye after recovering from the parvo virus?

Question

Can a dog develop blindness in one eye after recovering from Parvo virus? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Female | spayed | 66 lbs

Lindsey Edwards MVB, BSc, IVCA · Accepted Answer

Blindness in one eye would be very unlikely as a direct result of parvo (indeed if the developing eye was affected then both eyes would be expected to be attacked by the virus). There are many possible causes of blindness and severe infection or inflammation of any sort can occasionally cause inflammation and damage to the back of the eye. There are many other possible causes and I would recommend assessment by an ophthalmologist to determine the underlying cause and if any preventive measures should be taken to preserve sight in the other eye
