Hello, my 17 months old dog has leishmaniasis and he took therapy for it for 28 days . He is more active now and his skin looks better but he kept pawing at his eye and a few weeks ago i noticed it has a white spot on it. The vet had told me it probably was caused by injury and he suggested some antibiotic eye drops. A few days later his eye started to become blueish cloudy . i don't know what the cause is . Can you help me figure it out? (you can see his cloudy eye and the white spot on it in the picture below )
Hi - I'm no eye expert, but if an eye's pupil appears to be changing colour and has a new opacity in it, then you need to report this to your vet as soon as possible. In the vet world, there is a saying that if owners treat all eye cases as emergencies, they usually won't be far wrong.
The sort of eye changes reported with Leishmania do include uveitis, which may look like this. However, whatever is causing the signs, needs to be investigated.
