Answer:
Eye infections can lead to blindness. If there is infection and inflammation (Intraoccular pressure) your dog can go blind. Eye infections may sometimes be secondary to something else.

Pls take the dog to the vet, dont' put this off!

Ok - no need to be nasty guys - a simple explanation of the dangers and a suggestion of the vet (like Luba's) gets the point across without being mean. Some people genuinely don't know how important or dangerous some seemingly simple issues are for pets - By being mean we may drive away members of this board who may learn or even teach valuable info here later on.

Glad to hear you pooch is doing better.

Answer:
Was there any permanent damage that the vet could tell?
