There's something on my dogs eye?

Question

I looked at my dog and pet it, and i noticed something in his eye, it's like ithere's and invisable line or something, He seems allright, thogh it looks like it was cut somehow or something. It's in only one of his eye's. Any ideas?

Yes it kinda moves when he blinks.

Answer 1

Wash his face and use some eye wash (like you would do with contact lenss) See if it come off. It could be a scratch on the lense if it doesn't wash out. To the vets, It is painful if it is a scratch. Dog will not complain so they don't tell you it hurts.

Answer 2

If his lens was torn, you'd know it. Dogs have an internal eyelid that comes down when the eye is injured. Sometimes I think I see a hair in my dog's eye and she doesn't seem to mind at all. Does it move around when he blinks?

Answer 3

A hair, like a human hair, could be what you are looking like. Try to flush it, and if you don't succeed, take the dog to the vet.

One good natural solution is called Estivin. That's what I use to flush eyes. You can also try to flush with clear water.

Answer 4

Take him to the vet. It could be anything. It might be something simple like a bit of dust or something or conjunctiva. The vet will be able to tell you better. You don't want to fool around with your dog's sight.

Answer 5

if it looks like there is a line or cut on its eye its probably a piece of hair
that's what happens to my dog all the time

Answer 6

are you sure you are not looking at his nictitating membrane which is also called the third eyelid

dogs have this for protection of the eyes
