Jason Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 (edited) Hi guys I have a 15 week old grey. Her left eye is a perfect brown colour but the right is blue (cloudy like). Has anyone come across this before and what can I do for her. Thanks Edited September 19, 2021 by Jason Wording Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyRunDog Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 You need to let a vet have a look but the chances are that she is blind in her right eye. If this is the case be aware anything that comes from that side she won't be able to see it and that could make her nervous although at such a young age she will cope a lot better than an older dog who looses their sight later in life.

greysmom Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 (edited) Yes, she needs to be seen by a vet for a complete evaluation. Normal blue dog eyes do pop up in greyhounds, now and again. It's a recessive trait linked to certain coat colors, and can be perfectly normal. But a cloudy eye of whatever color needs to be seen by a professional asap.

macoduck Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Does she paw at it like it's dry and scratchy? Is she an AKC greyhound or did she come from a racing line? If she has tattoos you can check her family history and see if it's a variation in the line. Pannus is not really blue but can become a blue-ish haze. Not normally seen in young dogs. I do know of an owner with a youngish greyhound and both eyes were cloudy. I thought his dog was elderly. Nope. He said vet told him it was pannus. I asked if the drops were helping. He said he wasn't giving her any eye drops. Pannus eye drops are an off label human med. I got it relatively cheap with a Good Rx coupin. My boy was a senior and only had it in one eye. He was noticeably more comfortable with the drops. Although most likely your pup doesn't have pannus, it is something to ask your vet. Even my greyhound-savvy had to look it up after he asked me what my diagnosis was. (He always gets a kick out of it when I'm right.)

cleptogrey Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 sounds like either an injury to the eye or something. a blue eyed dog looks like a normal blue eye. i did have a saluki who had a blue eye- opaque blue. most likely a reaction to the distemper puppy shot. he life a normal life- nothing stopped him from hunting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
