Hey everyone,

We just woke up and saw that Lilu's eye is super swollen and it seems as if shes been scratching it.

Has anyone experienced this? We're thinking it's possibly an allergy, but her food hasnt changed. Could this be a cataract thing? I know huskies are prone to that.

There's 3 pics any advice would be greatly appreciated.

my Chihuahua Joey stated doing that and he ended up having an eye infection, but it could be she has something in here eye that's bugging her. i would defiantly get that checked out.

Was there anything visible in the eye that you could tell it was an eye infection? Right now her eye itself seems fine just around the eye is the issue.

Honestly that looks like ZRD (Zinc Responsive Dermatitis)- you need to have you vet verify.

What are some of the best ways to supplement zinc in their diets?

There are a ton of zinc supplements on the market, but you need to have it diagnosed before you start treating.

well if the eye hasn't change for the most part and there is not mucus or milky look and it just the outside area it might just be a zinc issue like HuskyMom09 said.

Yea we're taking her to the vet today, but I want to know everything first. Because the vet in our area I feel like she doesnt really know much, so I want so see if she says anything about zinc or is she says anything about huskies having zinc issues is common.
