        I have an older (about 10 yrs old) Lhasa Apso pup.  Her name is Cally.  The vet seems to think she has a yeast infection that was from an allergy to her food.  We have since changed the food.  She seems to feel much better, but her yeasty skins is still a problem.  Since the allergy issue started she started having and gunky issue with her eye.  Her left eye has always been a problem as the tear duct doesn’t work.  But now her right eye is filmy and I can’t get it to clear up.  She is all but blind at this point.

        I clean her eyes twice a day and put use a saline solution to clean it out.  I’ve also ground lavender & fennel for the anti-fungal properties of lavender and I read fennel was good for “clearing fuzzy eyes”.

        Does anyone have any other ideas on helping to clear her up?  The skin is slowly getting better, although I read the pigment change could take months to years to resolve.  But I hate that she’s blind and am wondering if there is a way to help clear that up or resolve it to a degree that she’ll have some sight.

        Anything would be helpful.  Thanks in advance.

          Lhasas often have eye issues because their eyes don’t close completely due the the protrusion of the globe (their eye sockets are too shallow).  There is a quick and easy surgery to fix that.

          If she has an eye infection causing the film, the Eye Wash formula is good. It’s in the Eye Formulas Lesson of the Formulas & Formulations section.

          The Candida Formula May help the yeast infection. It’s in the Infectious Disease Formulas lesson.

          Or here:

          Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider.
