It sounds like your dog may have cataracts, which can occur as dog’s age or with diseases like Diabetes. If this change has occurred suddenly I would recommend having Coco checked out as soon as possible. If it has been a gradual change it is probably less concerning. I hope this helps.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! You are likely seeing the beginning of cataracts though it is not possible to know without an examination. If you are seeing these changes, it is important to have Lissie evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They could assess this more closely and determine if any therapies would be warranted at this point. Good luck and have a great day!
