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.

    Nice to hear some good news on the forum for someone, such a shame sometimes even the simple things take time to sort out, glad your eye problems are solved to the point of being a possible allergy to something rather then being something more serious, in saying that allergies are a pain in the butt. Yay for Becca and Tucker. jolanda and Kaiser

    I would take him to an opthalmologist for an exam though because there are lots of thing that it could be besides this. He could also be having really bad allergies that is causing inflamation of his eyes. Jennifer

    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.

    I'm glad to hear the spinal tap went so easily. What a brave little girl Keba is. When I first saw she was getting a spinal tap, I thought oh–that sounds painful. I hope things start improving for her.
