Canine glaucoma can be painful.
Glaucoma is a condition in which the fluid of the eye does not drain fast enough and results in increased eye pressure. This high pressure in the eyes can cause optic nerve damage and if left untreated will result in blindness. Although glaucoma medication does not always work as well for dogs as it does humans, consult with your veterinarian before administering homeopathic treatments for canine glaucoma; it could cost your dog his vision if not treated properly.
