Question

My dog eyes are getting white colour,, so please give me the best suggestion for what to do and what medicine is good to remove that white colour on eyes. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Female | 6 years and 9 months old | 22 lbs

Hello, that color can either be from cataract or nuclear sclerosis. The difference is that cataracts may inhibit vision, where as nuclear sclerosis typically does not. Medicine does cure either of these, with cataracts they need surgery to remove this and with nuclear sclerosis, its typically a permanent change. Cataracts can be secondary from diabetes, so Budda must have a full physical exam and bloodwork to make sure that she does not have diabetes. Contact your veterinarian and have her evaluated. Hope this helps and best of luck.
