Hi all.
It looks like all the "eye problems" I've seen in this past health forum are strictly with glaucoma and/or cataracts, but I've got a stumper.
Maz within the past month had his vet check up, and everything was all clear (special attention was given to the eyes, he is developing cataracts).
Within the past 5 or so days, his left eye is beginning to roll up in his head (I notice some dogs close their eyes when they sleep, other dogs don't and just roll their eyes up. Maz is the latter). No swelling, until today, there is minimal swelling in the orbit and the eye is completely rolled up (until now, it was halfway down).
He also didn't eat dinner tonight (very unnusual for a basset!), and has been in a general stupor/very lethargic.
I called the vet earlier today to see if he might need an emergency visit, and he ruled out glaucoma, thinking it might be a scratched cornea (but not the case, as his eye seems to itch as opposed to being painful) or just allergies. We gave him benedryl upon recommendation.
I'll be taking him to the vet ASAP, but was wonderng if anybody else had any feedback so I can have some peace of mind.
Thanks!
