Eye problems in dogs can occur at any time. You really need to be very conscious of your dog health. Take your puppy for regular vet check up, to protect him from getting infection or to give him treatment at initial stage itself when diagnosed with the infection.

Dogs are very prone to diseases, especially the one of eyes. Therefore, check out for signs like discharge, cloudiness, irritation and redness, if there are any and give them treatment immediately. The bumping of your dog into furniture means he has some trouble with his vision. Some common eye problems in puppies are:

- Cherry eye: Tear glands protrude outward in this problem.
- Conjunctivitis: An inflammation that lines your dog's eyelid and sclera front.
- Glaucoma: Development of the fluid buildup in eye due to increased eye pressure.
- Cataracts: lens opacity.
- Day blindness: This is a hereditary problem that infected pups show within eight weeks of their birth. When your canine starts bumping into the furniture or falling down in the broad daylight, it means that he is suffering from day blindness and its the time to start his treatment as soon as possible.

You need to follow certain good pet care guidelines to protect your puppy from getting infected. These are:

- Don't let him sit near the window of your car to allow dust particles to enter into his eyes and spread infection.
- Dog feeding should be done including all the required nutrients in his diet.
- Dog grooming should be done regularly.
- Dog behavior should be checked and appropriate action should be taken if there is anything wrong.
- Long hair dogs need regular trimming of their hair.

Dog lovers don't at all like to see their little pets in trouble. Thus, take proper precautions to keep your little canine friend hale and hearty.
