Golden Retriever's Eye Is Blue-Gray After Grass Was Removed

A blue-gray, cloudy eye after a grass awn was stuck there for several days usually means the cornea is swollen with fluid (corneal edema), often because it was scratched or ulcerated. It can also mean infection or inflammation inside the eye.

Ask your vet to stain the eye within a day, before you continue the Neo-Kort, because steroid drops on an ulcerated cornea can make it soften and deepen. Many corneas clear well once they heal, but go back promptly if the eye gets more painful, cloudier or starts to bulge.
