Hey everyone - I'm new here to this community. I recently took in my basset from a family friend. Droopy grew up at my parent's house until the family split ways and he had to be taken in by someone in the area. The family friend recently passed away and someone had to take care of Droopy. Finally on my own, and with some room to spare, I volunteered.
Anyway - just out of curiosity - Droopy is about 10 or 11 years old now, and his face is so, well... DROOPY, that you can hardly even see his eyes anymore! Is this normal with bassets, or is there something else to blame, perhaps an eye problem in general? Any thoughts?
He will be visiting the vet soon - next week - to have his ears examined - they are not looking so good. He's a very stinky dog at the moment... whoo! So I will definately ask about the eyes while we're there.
