Icon has 1 eye whose white part always looks slightly red (inflamed?) all the way around around but it doesn't run or bother him - the vet tested the whole eye out then gave him eye cream - Fucithalmic -for 3 times a day but 10 days later, it's not doing much good - it doesn't run and he doesn't seem bothered by it - I wondered if it might be funghal - does this sound like anything anyone else has experience with?

Rocco has the same thing, his eyes are red on the white part as well, and sometimes they are white it seems to come and go some days. Our vet didn't prescribe anything he said there is nothing wrong, and Rocco doesn't seem to be bothered by it anyway.

If it's not bothering him, I wouldn't mind it. However, there is an eye condition common in greyhounds called pannus. I believe it presents itself in a similar way. There are a few folks on here who have more experience with this than I do so hopefully they can chime in

Yes, thanks, I checked out German Shepherd Pannus on the internet and asked the vet to rule it out when I took him in. This sounds more like Rocco's red eyes cause some days it's minimal...I think I'll go back to announce that the $50. ointment did nothing special...for those who don't know about pannus, there's info on the vet sites that we should look at in the hope that it could be caught early if a problem began.

Cali gets what I call "goop build up" in the corners of her eyes and it chaps them a bit and is uncomfortable for her, her's doesnt encompass the whole perimetre of her eye though, so i dunno maybe the eye cream wasnt the approprate type
