| ever heard of a condition called "Blue Eye"? I am in contct with an owner who is looking to sell her dog. She tells me the vet told her this 1 yr female had "blue eye" But presents overall health. I can find nothing on this mystery condition other than the observation that dogs with a colored tapedum behind the cornea, present blue coloring in their coats. Which is a target condition in our breed. Dogs with colorless tapedum get red eye when photographed and typically do not achieve color targets. Please let me know if there is a condition knicked named Blue Eye that I should be concerned about before I buy this dog.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | The blue eye condition is different that the colored tapedum and coat types you are referring to. This link explains eye shine and coat types. Eye Shine I think the blue eye condition is sometimes referred to cloudy eye, it can signify many things, cataracts, and can even lead to blindness. There is also something known as canine hepatitis that can cause blue eye, but if treated early enough the eyes will clear. Here's a link with more information. I think I would speak to the vet about it, and also my own vet before I made the commitment. Blue Eye: A Condition Caused by Canine Hepatitis in Dogs

| Thank you ALL so much I love this site. I got a fast response and an acruate response.... To think these people were selling this little fur baby rather that treat her.
