What is Pannus and are Greyhounds susceptible to this eye condition more than other dog breeds?
Pannus is an eye condition that involves the clear outer cornea of the eye. It is typically first discovered as a sort of cloudiness of the cornea, possibly with tears. Over a period of a few weeks this will progress until a thin web of blood vessels spreads inward toward the center of the cornea. If you let Pannus progress beyond this point then your Greyhound could be seriously impaired. Treatment is considered to help by keeping your dog away from ultraviolet light while keeping her indoors most of the time. And yes, Greyhound’s eyes are much more prone to getting Pannus than most other dog types.
