Vitreous rupture in dogs is a serious eye disease that may cause vision impairment or even blindness in dogs. The vitreous humor is a clear, gelatinous substance located inside the eyeball that helps maintain its shape and allows light to pass through. When the vitreous breaks, it can cause a host of complications, including but not limited to retinal detachment, intraocular bleeding, inflammation, and ultimately, possible blindness.

If your dog shows symptoms of vitreous body rupture, such as decreased vision, black spots in front of the eyes or visual field defects, you should immediately Contact your veterinarian for a checkup. Your veterinarian may use ultrasound or other imaging tests to determine the extent and location of the vitreous rupture and develop appropriate treatment plans based on the situation. In some cases, surgery may be necessary to repair the broken vitreous and prevent further complications.
