well it was dropping down in the teens at night so i decided to put my catch dog in the same pen as my best trail dog. well one night they tied up over food, nothing bad, just kinda like a "hey this is my food, stick to your own food" kinda thing. well i noticed my catch dog wouldnt open one of his eyes and was rubbing it with his paw. i didnt mess with it because i figured it was just scratched. the next day i put some eye meds i got from a vet and repeated for about 2 weeks. it opened up 2 days after the little fight and doesnt seem like it bothers him but its almost all white/blueish in color. if you cover the good eye and act like your gonna poke the bad eye, he closes it. the eye isnt punctured but still hasnt went back to normal color. has anyone had any similar problems? i havent brought him hunting because i dont want and brush making it worse, but im worried his eye will go bad and i wont be able to hunt him at all anymore. what do yall think?

He will hunt fine with one eye , might get cut alittle at first on the bad eye side till he get used to only being able to see out of one
There is alot of one eyed hunting dogs

I had a strike dog run a stick in his eye it turned almost solid white for a little over a month I thnk. But after that it slowly started to heal and finally got back to normal I just put some drops in it every other day and kept it cleaned out. And also the best catch dog iv hunted with had one eye.

I haven't had any eye problems in the past, do y'all think it would be okay to hunt him? I have a big hunt I'm going on tonight. Or should I leave him at home for a couple more weeks? Every time I mess with his cut collar he gets all excited and wants to load up. But I just don't wanna make it worse if there's still a chance it'll heal up

Sounds like he may have a corneal ulceration from what you are describing. He may develop a cataract sooner than normal in that eye but it's nothing that I'd imagine would hinder him from hunting. I'd flush it with sterile saline to be sure there's no debris in it irritating him.
