Horner's Syndrome

Hi @Dr. Jeff

Here's the original info I posted about my boy Bradley.

Newly Diagnosed Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

Hi there @Dr. Jeff, @Dr. Christina I'm a member who joined today. Thank you for this opportunity. 1. Your pet's name, age, sex Bradley, 11 year old male 2. Neutering status Neutered prior to us adopting at 14-months-old. 3. Breed Huntaway (a large New Zealand working breed) 4. Approximate...

He has CLL. His bloods are stable currently. Lymphocytes are 24,000.

The very first symptom I noticed - that led me to seeing the vet - was his droopy eyes. I'd never seen this before.

This symptom happens when Bradley's going through a period of tiredness, then disappears when he brightens back up.

During the symptomatic time, his eyes can also look sunken in, as if they're deeper set into his face. It's hard to explain. I've attached a picture of the drooping.

I wondered if this could be Horner's Syndrome & if that might be related to the leukemia or may indicate another issue?

I would be most grateful to hear your opinion.

Thank you for your time.

Hi Brooke!

Thanks for sharing the link to the forum thread with some of Bradley's history.

Did you start working with a vet homeopath or other energetically oriented vet?

I wondered if this could be Horner's Syndrome

It's possible, but my gut says that it is not.

Slight squint, small pupil, raised third eyelid... it all looks pretty strange, as if something is wrong with the eye. In fact, it is not the eye itself that is the problem, but rather it is a nerve problem. Read more about this symptom and its causes.

& if that might be related to the leukemia or may indicate another issue?

Yes and yes! The drooping lower lids and other eye symptoms are another clue that his body is giving regarding the energetic imbalance. And exactly which homeopathic medicines, that are matched to the totality of his symptoms (including but not exclusive to the new eye symptoms) can be used. As a person who has already used homeopathy you know that the goal of individualizing his treatment is improvement in his CLL, eye symptoms, etc.
