Early dog cataracts may show the pupil turning white or gray, blurred vision, unsteady walking, occasionally bumping into objects, or taking wrong routes. Cataracts are clouding of the eye’s lens causing blurred vision, and in severe cases may cause blindness.
Dogs of any age may get cataracts, but older dogs are more likely. If you suspect your dog has cataracts, take it to a vet early for a check-up.

← My hamster has been kept over a year; last week its eye was slightly inflamed. I read online to use saline, but none was available locally, so I bought levofloxacin eye drops and used them three times daily. It worsened, and now the eyeball is shrunken, probably blind, the eye stays open and protruding. Last night the saline arrived and I applied some, then it seemed to bleed. I am a student and just want to know how long it can live; there is no vet nearby and I can only use saline and eye drops.
