Dandie's Eye

I have seen dogs tear the third eye and have small flaps left intact. Of course that is hard to do without scratching the cornea or damaging the eye. But I have seen amazing things happen.

Rachel's sister had a BC that jammed a 2" stick long into the inner corner of his eye socket, totally missed the eye and caused only alittle squinting. She took him to another vet who didn't see it and he developed horrible conjunvitis and a corneal ulcer when he started pawing at it 3 days later. We knocked him out and picked up the 3rd eyelid and saw this object barely poking out underneath. Our jaws dropped to the floor when we pulled it out. Had I not seen it with my own eyes I wouldn't have believed it. It was as thick as a pencil.:eek2:

I hope Dandie is ok and it nothing serious.:smile2:
 
Sorry! I did not post an update.

I took her to class on Wednesday night, where I had a lot of people look at it, and they do not think it was an emergency.

So, my vet appointment is not until 4PM on Monday night. She is still fine. Just a little skin rolled up in the corner of her eye. Kind of looks like an eye boogey. It is not red, not irritating to her, and she has not discharge of any sort.

So...I will give an update after her appt. on Monday.
 
I hope things turned out alright for you. Our dog had that white filmy looking third lid come down partially over one of her eyes a few years ago, and it also looked as if her eye had receded a bit into her head. When the vet looked at it, he said she could have gotten it from some kind of trauma to the head - I have no idea where that could have happened because she never tripped or fell or hit her head. But he ended up giving us a steroid eye drop that we used daily for a couple weeks and it went back to normal. It was very strange but it didn't seem to bother her. Hope your baby turned out okay!
 
Thanks for the reminder to update.

Whatever it was....is not there now, so she is all good. There is no redness or anything and the piece of skin is gone.

who knows :rolleyes2:
 
Deska's third eyelid often sits across part of his eye. It doesnt bother him and I have no idea why sometimes it shows and sometimes it doesnt.
