Scuff Mark on the Center of a Dog's Eye
Reader Question
Just noticed what looks like a scuff mark on our 5 year old dog's eye. I close his eye and rub it to see if it was just a sleeper in his eye but it didn't move. What can it be?
Answer from Our Team
A mark that doesn't wipe away may be a scratch or ulcer, a scar from an old injury, or deposits in the cornea. Rubbing the eye can make an ulcer worse, so please avoid touching it.
Have a vet stain the eye soon, and go the same day if he squints, tears or rubs it.
