Is my small dog going blind? Her eyes are cloudy and have mucus.

Question

I have a small dog that is a mix of a few breeds and she has white cloudiness in both eyes. She has been barking more often at noise than usual and her eyes always have a mucus like substance that mats her eyes. I'm wondering if she is is going blind.

From your description, Tink may have dry eye that has lead to ulcer formation on the cornea. If not treated, this can become much more severe. This could also be cataracts forming with incidental dry eye that you have noticed as well. I would recommend having a veterinarian examine Tink so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
