Hair in my dog's eye?

I just noticed hair inside my dog's eye. Yes her pupil or the cornea.. whatever.. the black part. She got hair on both eyes. It's not a peice of hair, it's like a few hair in a hairball stuck in one but very flat. I rubbed one of her eyes, and the furball disapearred it probably went behind her eye or the side of her eye, or not very far. Anyways it doesn't seem to hurt her I don't tihnk she doesn't complain about it, nor does she bark when I rub it.. she's completely fine with it. I was just wondering is there long term effects? or any damage at all? Is it normal to have hair caught in their eyes? She is a pomeranian.. she sheds. And how will I remove it?

Inside the eye BALL?

Well, I don't know how that's possible, but you cannot remove this by yourself, you need a veterinarian.

I've seen dogs that have small worms/parasites inside of the eye.

Her own tear ducts should react to remove it. Keep watch on her eyes over the next few days. If you see any irritation or issues, take her to your vet. Otherwise I wouldn't worry about it. :)

I recomend removing eyeballs for cleaning. Take em out, spary the with DW40 to get all the rust off, send them with fine sand paper, 600. Then buff em. Oh and don't forget to lubriacte eye socket before you put the back in.

Hope that helps.

I think I know what you're talking about!! I've only seen it one time and the vet called it a dermoid.

This is the only picture of it that I could find, but is this it?

Not that my answer is helping you at all (I apologize) but at least with the medical name, you could do some research. I would consult an eye specialist if it becomes bothersome.

Ignore the bad posts- sorry about them. Take your dog to the nearest vet- it could be more than just hair. At any rate, they can take it out. She may have some kind of problem, tho...

Well, if you do see the hair in your dog's eye, you should grab a tissue and try to get it out that way and maybe blow on your dog's eye might help too. But if it went behind her eye, when your dog goes to sleep, the hair should come out in that stuff that we call "eye boogers" or "eye sand from the sand man" whe she wakes up.

You can try flushing the eyes out with saline solution. Wipe out the hair ball with a saline soaked soft cotton ball being careful not to scratch the eyeball. Just wipe it towards the outer edge of the eye and it should come out.
