Dog's Eyes  - The Most Important But Neglected Part of The Body of Dog

No other organ in the body of your dog has a complicated mechanism and complex structure such as small eyes. A thorough eye examination can be done by a veterinarian, but hopefully through our brief description here at least enough to be a problem if he puts the place.

The first sees when looking at the eyes of your pet are the upper and lower eyelids - the specialists tend to protect the eyes. The eyelids must be smooth and clean. The edge of the eye or center of the lower lid should not turn on or off. Make sure that the eyelids and nose hair do not rub the eye. Sometimes, these hairs can be distorted and may be sore and irritated eyes. A smooth, pink tissue, the conjunctiva can see, the interior surface of the eyelids.

The link allows the eye to lubricate and protect them from infection. The space between the eyelid and conjunctiva eye together, the conjunctival sac. If the conjunctiva is red or swollen, or if there is a green or yellow discharge, tissue inflammation is present.

The cornea is the clear "window" of the eye that bends light rays entering. The cornea can lose its clarity when inflamed, or injured. Hair and branches can damage the cornea, especially in the pop-eyed dogs. The sclera is the fibrous forms his eyeball ping pong and opaque white. The sclera is usually through a yellow (jaundice) in dogs with liver problems.

The diaphragm controls the amount of light in the back of the eye and gives the eye color of your dog. The black hole at the center of the iris is the pupil. Expands (grows), can give more light in the darkness, and forced (smaller) in bright light. A cataract is the white haze that blocks the light passing through the eye, and can be seen by a bright light in the pupil of the eye. A natural aging process called senile cataracts or nuclear sclerosis, is caused by a rearrangement of fibers and water loss in the most objective.
