Question

My min pin got sprayed in the eyes by a skunk. Ever since then, he has not been able to see anything up close. Is there anything I can do?

Accepted Answer

I would suggest seeing a veterinary opthamologist. It sounds like the corneas may have been burned with the spray and now don't allow a lot of light through.
While skunk spray normally causes only a temporary eye problem I think having a specialist check the eyes for you would be a good choice.
You can perhaps find one here

or ask your vet for a referral.
Hope this helps you!
