Eye warts?

Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • A couple of weeks ago I noticed a small whitish dot right at the inside corner of Booger's eyelid. I thought it was just a minor battle wound, but it hasn't gotten better. Now he's starting to get one on the other eye. They are both small, whitish dots that are just a little bit calousy or warty looking, if that makes sense. They don't seem to bother him, but I'm wary of eye problems.
    Andrew says a friend of his had a dog that got scratched in the eye by a cat & developed some sort of bacterial infection & it was quickly cleared up with antibiotics. We have a cat, and they frequently wrestle. Could this be a wart? Will this clear up or should we go to the vet?
    I tried to take pictures; they make it look a little worse than it really is. The second shot looks as if its swolen & slightly obscuring his vision, but its not really. He doesn't seem to have any vision problems or anything.



  • I'd take him to the vet.

    Thank you for your help. I took her to the vet. They prescribed eye drops to see if it would help. They stained her eye. No scatches. They eye is slightly recessed. I will try the massage as you suggest. I really don't want her to have surgery. But I don't want her to be in pain either. Hoping the massage helps. Thank you.

    Maybe allergies or a touch of conjunctivitis? My B has had both and the vet gave us some eye drops that took care of it. Hope your guys feel better soon!

    As soon as I read the first post I thought of Sinbaje and her avatar. I hadn't realised Linda just how talented he is. Congratulations to Drew for his many great successes.

    @LovingLola: Thanks. I didn't know that they should see an opthamologist regularly. Yes, it is highly recommended, IMO for all breeds, but especially for ours that have eye problems. Like I said, once I have a base line that shows no problems, I don't have a problem with going every two years when in their prime. And it is not all that expensive at least not in the Bay Area and believe me, we are pretty pricey on Vet things….
