Eye problems in JRT'SPosted by: John R. SloanCategory: Medical Posted on: May 31, 2001 at 15:17:36

| Question: I have a 2-1/2 year old male JRT and he is experiencing a problem with his right eye. He keeps squinting with it and it looks glassy when he is squinting. I have had him to the Vet to check this out. I was told he has a calcium deposit on his eye. A little white spot. The vet dosen't belive this is the cause and gave him drops. I then took him to an ophthalmology doctor and he changed the drops to another type. He checked the pressure in the eye and said it was low. He then said to try the drops for two weeks and see what happens. He said it could be the original drops, it could be lyme desease, or the spot causing the problem. He does not squint all the time. Only once in a while just recently. Other times the eye looks great. Has this happened to any other JRT's out there? Help! It sounds like they are guessing at my little buddies expense! I love my dog. Buy the way, his name is Rimshot.
