Dog glaucoma symptoms

The main symptoms of glaucoma in dogs include: pain, depression, dilated pupils, blue eyes, and eye discharge. If the owner does not take the dog to the pet hospital for treatment in time, the dog is likely to become blind. Therefore, it is recommended that the owner take the dog to the pet hospital for examination in time, and determine the treatment method according to its eye condition. If necessary, surgery is required.
1. Pain
Dogs suffering from glaucoma may experience pain, mainly characterized by lethargy, anorexia, squinting or scratching their eyes. Reach out and touch the dog's eyes, and the dog may show a particularly intense avoidance reaction.
2. Depression
If dogs suffer from glaucoma, their spirits will become poor due to pain, and they will be indifferent to the owner's calls and interactions.
3. Eyes with dilated pupils appear blue.
Glaucoma can cause a dog's eye color to change, appearing blue. The changed part is usually the cornea or the transparent area of the eye, which is shaped like a cloud and may gradually expand as the condition worsens.
4. Occurrence of eye discharge
Because there is a problem inside the eyeball, once a dog develops glaucoma, the secretion of substances in the eye will increase. If you look carefully, you will also find that the secreted fluid is usually clear.
5. Blindness
Glaucoma is a type of disease that can cause increased intraocular pressure and affect vision. If the dog's intraocular pressure is not effectively controlled, the dog is likely to eventually become blind.
