Title: Bulldog got his eye out out Post by: jpuckett on January 19, 2016, 06:24:26 pm I have a bulldog that, out of nowhere, hurt his eye. It started going cloudy and I looked closer and there is a spot that looks to be a prick or a hole. It has completely clouded over. Does this for sure mean he will lose all sight through it?? Do any of you think he will struggle to catch because of depth perception?

Just make sure it does not get infected because it can spread behind the eye and cause some real bad issues. Won't hurt to have 2 catch dogs or another gritty dog that will help. Good luck.

But I took him to the vet and said he can still see!! I'm pumped. We gave him on some eye drops and 10 days and should be healed up. Glad I didn't get rid of him before spending money on a vet bill. In this case it actually saved me money. Cost 140 for the vet bill. Good catch dog costs quite a bit more.

What about that real hyper brindle/tiger stripe bulldog you had? Is he still around? The hyper one that would jump 6' up the corner in the kennel....

Title: Re: Bulldog got his eye out out Post by: jpuckett on January 21, 2016, 06:59:26 pm That's him. That's the one that hurt his eye. He might be the most annoying dog on the planet in the kennel but you get him on lead while hunting he's pretty good and a darn good catch dog.

He squeezed the eyeball and it deflated some, all that crap came out but the eye healed up and he could see after that. I wouldn't have recommended that, but it worked in his case.
