My dogs' eyes are cloudy. Can outdoor plants cause gradual blindness?

Poor Hank! It could be he has a serious eye infection leading to this cloudiness, squinting, and trouble seeing. He could have also injured his eye. It's very concerning this just happened overnight, and any problem with the eye should be considered an emergency. That's because leaving it untreated can lead to vision loss. Please take him into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website. Best of luck, I hope this helps!

Lily could have cataracts causing this cloudy pupil, but it could also be due to an eye infection or glaucoma. The eye is such a delicate and important structure that any problem with it should be considered an emergency. That's because leaving it untreated can lead to vision loss. I would have Lily seen by a vet immediately, who can diagnose what is causing her cloudy pupil and can discuss treatment options with you.

Should the eye ointment not make a difference in his loss of vision, I suggest you take Izzy back to the vet for a recheck. there are quite a few causes of blindness possible. Ask your vet about testing for tick diseases. we do sometimes see dogs with an ehrlichia canis infection that temporarily go blind. It also may be that she was slowly going blind over the past few years and now finally is totally blind and you just did not notice it before. THis is difficult, but dogs are great. They can get used to being blind easily, and have a few more senses with which they can "see".

Depending on what is causing Chacha's vision loss (i.e. Cataracts, changes to the retina or changes to the cornea) there might be some things that you can do to treat the underlying problem but treatments would vary widely based on the diagnosis. I would recommend having your veterinarian examine Chacha's eyes to help determine what might be causing the cloudiness. If your veterinarian determines that there is not much to do for the vision loss you can make some changes to help her feel more confident. You should try to avoid moving things around the house so that Chacha can remember where furniture is located and avoid it. You should walk the same route every day. You can also look into harnesses and collars like Muffin's Halo Guide for blind dogs (not sure if it is available in your area): www.muffinshalo.com

This could possibly be cataract but there are many other eye diseases that could cause the eyes to look like this. she is not going to die but she needs to be seen by a vet ASAP in order to diagnose the eye condition properly and then treat it so she can see well again.

Poor Hurah! I can't see his eye very well in this photo, but any cloudiness is always cause for concern. Depending on the specific part of the eye that looks cloudy, this could be caused by glaucoma, a corneal scratch or ulcer, a severe eye infection, or cataracts. I would definitely recommend taking Hurah in to see a vet as soon as you are able to. He/she can examine the eye using a special stain if needed to help diagnose the problem and get him started on appropriate treatment.

Poor Roxy! This whiteness of her eye could be caused by a severe eye infection, injury to her eye, cataracts, or glaucoma. I would have seen by a vet immediately. The eye is such a delicate and important structure that any problem with it is considered an emergency. That's because leaving it untreated can lead to permanent vision loss. I would take Roxy into an ER vet or find a vet on call to see her now so her eye can be examined, diagnosed, and treated.
