Pia's eye : (

[Dina_Nichole]

Hey guys, I am so upset right now. Pia has a tiny mark on her right eye. Its not very big and kind of cloudy looking. My first thought was a cataract but who knows what it could be. She's only 3 1/2 years old. Can they even get cataracts this young? My favorite vet moved far away and I tried a new one but I did NOT like this place. I want to have her looked at right away but I don't want to take her just anywhere. My poor baby girl. She's acting completely normal but I can't stand the thought of not knowing what's wrong with her little eye. Please keep Pia in your prayers. If you have any ideas about what this could be please let me know. I just feel sick right now.

Poor Pia What kind of mark is it? Can you post a picture of it?

Its like a cloudy white mark. I'm not sure if it will show up on a picture or not since itsn ot very big. I will try though.

I hope this doesn't sound stupid, but could it be a piece of lint or something on the top of the eye. I saw something like that on Zeus once, and at first glance, I thought he had a cut.

Oh ok, that gives me a better idea of what it looks like, but unfortunately I don't have any advice for that Hopefully someone on here will be more knowledgeable about this. I just thought that a picture (or detailed description) would help other members get a better idea of what Pia could possibly have.

This is what it looks like. I had to crop the picture so everyone could see it. Its not as big as the picture makes it out to be but you definately get the idea.

I'm not sure what that is. The picture kind of makes it look like a little "bubble". I agree that you should have it looked at by a vet.

I hope you can find a new you you trust. Please let us know what they say. I'm very curious.

Im not sure if its the same but my Diesel has the same thing. I took him into the vet and he did a dye test and he has a scratched cornea, its actually scarred. There is medical term for it but cant think of it right now. I noticed him squinting his eye after picking him up from the groomer, the vet said its very likely she actually cut it. This was months ago and its still there. My vet said it always will be there. Oh almost forgot, I needed to put eye ointment on it for a week. I hope this helps.

She's definately going somewhere to be looked at. I live in Maryland but I'm from PA. I'm going back home on Wednesday and if I can't get in somewhere around here on Monday or Tuesday then I'm taking her to the vet that my mom goes to back home.

By the way its not like a bubble in person but I can see how you thought that. Its so hard showing it with a picture. Thanks for trying to help.

Omg Dina, that looks so sad , it almost looks like something's glaring off of it but I understand that it's not. Could you possibly make another post in the regional forums asking for favorite vets around your area? I hope you can get it looked at soon and I hope it's nothing too serious. You both are in my thoughts!

Also, try Googling it, I did but I don't want to put what I found because I don't want to scare you BUT I didn't look at a lot of what came back. Check that out girl!

Sure hope it turns out to be something minor with an easy fix...try not to worry too much...i know thats hard...good luck at the vet!

aww poor Pia...she will be in my thoughts for sure!

I'm sorry about Diesel. I hate thinking of Pia's eye being scratched but I'd rather it be like Diesel before being something really serious. I feel so helpless right now. I just want her looked at right now. I keep looking at her and I feel so darn bad. I have no idea how I missed seeing this on her. I feel like the world's worse mommy.
