Milo just got diagnosed with Horner's Syndrome

Just came back from the vet. Noticed Sunday morning that Milo's right eye was looking sunk and his third eyelid was very pronounced on the lower portion of his eye. I figured he must have scratched his eye or something, but it wasn't weeping and didn't seem to bother him.

Well his vet did a thorough check up and said it was Horner's Syndrome. I guess if any kind of damage occurs to the sympathetic nerves of the eye this can happen. It normally will spontaneously heal itself and there is nothing to do for it.

The only thing that has me worried is that it can be caused by a tumor in the area of the nerve...although the Vet didn't seem at all worried about that. He thought it was more likely due to an ear infection, since Milo has a history with his ears (he had a bad infection when Animal Control seized him from the previous owner.) But both of his ears looked good according to the Vet.

So now we just have to wait and hope it fixes itself quickly.

Here is a good link to what exactly Horner's Syndrome is:

Hi,

Sorry for the delayed response and wanted to tell you that I've been thinking of you guys since reading your post. How's Milo doing?

Thank you too for educating us on what Horner's is as I had not heard of it before. Your post has probably helped and will help others in the future too - so thanks for that.

Sending belly rubs to Milo and hugs to his mom.

Marianne
