The condition is called "blue eye" and used to be quite common years ago in vaccinated dogs but now is very rare due to the improvement in vaccines. It is a reaction to the hepatitus (sp) part in the vaccine and she said the vet took quite a lot of photos and did lots of tests as he said although they are taught about blue eye at vetinary school, he has never before come across a case. He rang the company who made the vaccine and enquired if this condition did still occur and they confirmed that some dogs did react but this was now extremely rare. The outcome for the puppy regarding his sight returning in the damaged eye is unknown and only time will tell. As for him being vaccinated (boosters) in the future the vet advised that although you can give certain parts of the vaccine individually - lepto parvo and kennel cough, the hepatitus is given in the same vaccine as distemper. I must admit this has woken me up, I have never questioned having my dogs vaccinated, its just something It was best to do, but it makes you wonder doesnt it? Id be heartbroken too if this had happened to one of my dogs. Ill let you know how he goes on in the future. I wish him lots of luck
