I have 3 spaniels, Cocker, Sprocker and a Springer.
They've been on a good streak for eye trauma, the Springer is the worst culprit although all have had emergency vet visits for foreign bodies or thorns in eyes. They go on nice walks regularly all over the Cotswolds and love it. I don't encourage going into brambles. I must add, they're mad. Pretty well trained, but act like they're on crack.
The Springer woke up unable to open his eye 2 weeks ago, got him straight into the vets and he had damage to his cornea. Pretty big circular hole, about 3/4mm. He was on eye drops and metacam, it improved a lot. No idea how he did it, was fine the evening before, almost looks like he ran into the end of barbwire. He had the vets yesterday and the vet was really pleased. Gave him some new eye drops to encourage healing.
Today he's woken up squinting and uncomfortable..
he has another vet app this afternoon. They haven't even started working this season yet.. and if I'm honest, it makes me consider working them at all!
Does anyone have eye goggles for their dogs? Do they eventually ignore them?
