are there any home remedies you can try for a dog whose recently gotten a cloudy eye?
My Miniature Schnauzer turned 2yrs old this summer. She did have ear mites i believe in her left ear and we got her some drops and used and now her ear is fine. I was out of town all last week and went to pick her up and noticed now that she's got a cloudy left eye. I don't know if the left ear that was infected or if it was ear mites had anything to do with the left eye now being cloudy, but wondering if anyone knows a home remedy to try first before dishing out the vet bill? I had surgery 5 wks ago and still off work from it, so my husband and i are trying to go the cheapest way to fix her up. she doesn't seem to be effected by it right now, but i don't want to wait til she is to do something.

The cloudy eye could be several things.
It is best to take her to the vet asap, to get this eye evaluated.
Know how you feel about the surgery and all. I just did also. Hope you get back on track soon.

Undortunately, the cloudy eye is usually due to a corneal abrasion or ulcer and this does need immediate veterinary treatment to prevent permanent blindness. It is probable that she scratched her eye while trying to scratch her ear. There is no at home treatment for corneal problems.

Miniature Schnauzers are prone to cataracts. I hope that isn't the problem, but you need to see a vet.
