Basset Hounds for You

I took my girl to the vet today for the inflammation & bumps on her third eyelid. Doc prescribed us some ointment for her eyes & walked out. Tech gal came in to bring us medicine & I mentioned that after they walked out I noticed one of her eyes is significantly darker than the other. Which, as you can see in the second picture, it wasn’t like that a month ago either. The vet tech refused to get the doc to come back in & told me it was just the lighting in there, so I am getting a second opinion next week. Any stories to calm my nerves would be great. No eye issues in either parents & I’ve texted the breeder to see if any other pup’s in her litter have had issues. I know one pup passed away but i’m not sure what from. If you zoom in on the left eye you can see kind of a fog over her pupil as well. I’m just a worried basset mommy. Any & all replies would be appreciated.

This was our Wally. Our daughter found him, on a cold winter night, wandering around a Walmart parking lot. He was only 4 months old, with a bad case of mange. We tried to find his owner but no luck. The vet said he was probably dumped because of his mange. He was my husband’s best friend. We had him for 15 years. I lost them both three years ago, dying within two weeks of each other. Wally was just a wonderful dog.

My wife and I are expecting our first child shortly, and Linus is in love with the bump
