Your dog's pannus is worsening, and understandably, you're concerned about her eye inflammation. While waiting for professional care, there are steps you can take to help ease her symptoms at home.
- Keep her eyes protected from UV light
- Ensure her eyes are clean and free from debris
- Monitor her symptoms closely
Pannus is a condition that can be aggravated by exposure to UV light, so try to keep your dog indoors during the brightest parts of the day, or have her wear dog goggles to protect her eyes. You can gently clean her eyes with a wet cotton ball to remove any discharge or debris, which can help prevent further irritation. Keep a close watch on her symptoms, and take note of any changes to inform your vet when you can see them.
