My miniature daschund is completely blind as a result of degenerative retinal atrophy. His eyes always look cloudy,but this morning I noticed a hairline thick "line" in his one eye. At first I thought it was a hair,but upon inspecting it, I saw that it was fixed. It almost looks like a burst eye artery, but it isn't red,it is completely dark. He doesn't seem to be bothered by it, but I was wondering what the cause could be please?
