I know that I very seldom post on the dog side, but I just have to ask if anyone else has experienced this with their older dogs.
Buddy, my Lhasa Apso was diagnosed with a cataract on his left eye, last year. Not surprising, since he is 15 years old now. The strange part of this is that last month, it was gone, but then a few days later it was back again and this has been happening since. He can go 2-3 days without it there and then 2-3 days with it again. He rubs his eye sometimes on his blanket, couch or bed and that's when we will notice that it disappears. But when I look into his eye under a light, I can see the film of white down in his eye. Then when he rubs his eye again, it appears again, covering the pupil of his eye.
Here is a picture taken a few days ago and as you can see, his eye looks fine.
These pictures were taken without the flash.
This was taken today and you can clearly see the film of white is back over his eye.
Has anyone heard of such a thing happening like this or experienced it with their own dogs. Not having any experience with cataracts before, do they usually move like that? He will be going to the vets on Monday to get this checked out, but I would love to hear you opinions on this.
Thank you for any comments you might have.
