Border collie eye drops not working. What's wrong with her eyes?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Border Collie | Female | unspayed | 39 lbs

We took our border collie to the vet when we noticed something wrong with her right eye. They gave us Tobramycin Ophthalmic Solution drops. It got a little better but it’s not back to normal at all and now her right eye is also not looking good. I don’t think the drops are doing much good. Any idea what could be wrong with her eyes? Thank you so much for your advise.

Do you think is having any blindness? If so, then CEA would be the top differential. The eye needs to be examined with an ophthalmoscope and some specialized equipment to get a diagnosis. I suggest you have Bella examined by a veterinary ophthalmologist. I agree with you. I don't think the Tobramycin will have any affect on these eyes as it does not look like an infection.
