Every dog has a pair of big, piercing eyes. The eyes are one of the indispensable facial features of dogs, but the eyes are the part that is prone to illness. The dog's normal eyeball is embedded in the eye socket, and the dog's eyes can be opened and closed, but under special circumstances, the dog's eyes will be injured, causing the dog's eyeball prolapse. So what is the cause of dog eye prolapse? How can it be treated?

The cause of the disease is heredity, a certain Some dogs with shallow eye sockets (such as Pekingese, Shi Tzu) often have eyeballs prolapse due to excessive excitement. In addition, head trauma, dog bites, and fractures of the bones around the eye socket for various reasons can also cause eyeball prolapse.

The eyeball is an organ that needs moisture to be moistened at any time. If this phenomenon occurs, in addition to immediate medical attention, if it cannot be immediately sent to the doctor, the following principles should be followed

1. Adequate wetting and cleaning: Use clean water (boiling water, mineral water) or saline solution (contact lens rinse) to wet and clean the eyeball first, and keep the eyeball moist at all times.

2. Strictly prohibit dogs from scratching the eyeball: because the dog itself will be quite uncomfortable when the eyeball prolapses, and the reflex action is to fiddle with the prolapsed eyeball with its feet, causing secondary s damage.

3. It is strictly forbidden to put pressure on the eyeball. When the eyeball prolapses, it is often accompanied by corneal ulcer or perforation. If pressure is applied, the fluid in the eyeball will leak out and cause irreversible damage to the eyeball.

In some conditions, vision can be severely affected.

1. If the prolapse time is too long, more than 2 hours, blindness is often caused by the obstruction of blood circulation in the eyeball.

2. Secondary injury, resulting in rupture of the eyeball and outflow of anterior chamber fluid.

3. Abnormal structure of lens and retina.

4. When the pupillary reflex disappears, it is because the nerve damage is quite serious.
