Bernedoodles, like many dog breeds, can experience eye problems that should be monitored by pet owners. If your Bernedoodle is squinting or rubbing his face, it could be indicative of an underlying issue that may require veterinary attention.
- Redness in or around the eye
- Excessive tearing or discharge
- Cloudiness or a change in eye appearance
- Squinting or keeping the eye closed
- Rubbing eyes with paws or on furniture
These symptoms may suggest conditions such as conjunctivitis, dry eye syndrome, or other irritations and infections. Early detection and treatment are vital to prevent more severe issues and ensure your dog's comfort and eye health. Regular veterinary check-ups can help keep your Bernedoodle's eyes healthy and catch any potential problems early.
