I was watching TV and I noticed my dog was staring at me, when I looked at him he winked at me.lol.
Anyway I was just wondering if anybody thinks maybe animals are more aware than people think they are. I look at him sometimes and I swear there is a human in there somewhere. Like a reincarnation thing or something.
He just looks like he is trying to communicate something to me sometimes.

Common Ocular Disorders In Puppies (from link )
1.Entropion… inward folding of an eyelid where lid hairs contact the cornea (Shar Pei, Cocker Spaniel, Rottweiler, Labrador Retriever, etc.)
2. Cherry Eye… prolapsed gland of the third eyelid. (Bulldogs, Cocker Spaniels, Poodles, etc.) (See photo: Cherry Eye)
3. Ectopic Cilia… an abnormal eyelash that grows through the conjunctiva and is usually very painful and almost always causes an ulcer. (See Photo: Corneal Ulcer)
4. Distichiasis… abnormal position of eyelashes on a lid margin that result in irritation of the eye.
5. Dermoid…congenital defect where haired skin is located in an abnormal place on an eye and will often irritate the cornea and can cause ulcers.
6. Cataracts… opacity of the lens. Inherited cataracts can often appear in young dogs, in most cases a veterinarian or veterinary ophthalmologist will have to make this diagnosis; owners are often unaware of small focal cataracts. There are also late onset cataracts that may not show up until middle or older age.
7. Follicular Conjunctivitis… itchy, reddened conjunctival tissues, tearing, squinting, often related to allergies.
8. Puppy Pyoderma or Puppy Strangles… eyelid abscesses associated with generalized skin pustules.
9. Dry Eye (Keratoconjunctivitis sicca or KCS)… lack of or inadequate production of tears. Sometimes this can be congenital in which case it is often very serious. Pug, Lhasa Apso, Shih Tzu are some of the breeds that may be born with dry eyes.
I myself suffer from Keratoconus , from the age of about 13 I did not know if i'd be blind as an adult or not. Scared for life!!
