Hey guys, My name is Dr. Larratt here at Heron Lynx Animal Hospital. Today I am here with this little Yorkie. And this little Yorkie is here because we are squinting. And so her name is Lullaby. And so Lullaby is Mom said that she went ahead and bathed her recently and then shortly afterwards she started squinting. Now, a lot of times that might be telltale for a potential ulcer on the eye. We've already gone ahead and done some staining of the eye, which you can look at some of our other videos about eye ulcers to see what exactly that looks like. This is a black light right here that Abraham is coming in on. And then the other thing that we did was we also checked her eye pressure to see if she has any sort of glaucoma. Now she does have a little bit some elevations in her eye pressure, I want to say, where the eyes kind of. But the pressures go from like 23, 25 and up to 32. Now when we look at the eye, if you guys come over here, the eye looks very different. Comparing it. And so if you look at this.
Eye, there's a concern for me that there may be what's called a luxated lens. If you take a look at this eye, you can see her iris clearly. There's some coloration versus on this one, you don't really see coloration. And it almost seems like that eye.
Is bulging a little bit more than the other one. And so this can be an emergency where she might have to have surgery to have that fixed. So we are in talks to go ahead and get her over to the ophthalmologist so they can go ahead and take a look at her. Like I've told you guys in the past, if your dog is having a problem with their eyes and it is something that is uncomfortable for your veterinarian, it's better to be safe than sorry and go to see that veterinary ophthalmologist to make sure that it is not something that may cause them to lose permanent vision in that eye. So if you guys found this video helpful, please give us a thumbs up. Subscribe, share and we'll give you an update on Lullaby and let you know what exactly is going on and we'll go from there. Thanks a lot and have a great day.
