Ask the French Bulldog Vet - Pup sleeps with open eyes?

admin August 9th, 2008

Our 7 mo. old Frenchie (male) sleeps quite often with his left eye half open.  He has plenty of tears, but I cannot imagine that this would be healthy over the long haul.  Should I take precautions?

Lori writes –

Some dogs often sleep with their eyes half open or all the way open.  This may be “normal” for him, but is worth having a full ophthalmologic exam, including tear production, so you can have peace of mind.
