Horner's Syndrome in Dogs

Unannounced and unexpected, I saw my dog experiencing anisocoria. He was having accidents in the house and also seemed very off put. Confused, exhausted. He just wasnt himself. I took him to the vet and was recommended he see a specialist. After many tests later, they prescribed him two antibiotics and and anti inflammatory medication for him to take for next 20 days. They warned that the medication would cause him to urinate more frequently. It's almost as if my dog has forgotten he was potty trained. Could there be off set delays of horner's syndrome after trauma? about a year ago, my dog got into a brutal brawl out with another pitbull (my dog is a pitbull). Neighbor's dog trespassed into my backyard and attacked my dog. They both fought almost to death. but there were wounds and punctures in his neck/jugular, face, chest...He recovered. Notes from the specialist given the anisocoria and behavioral issues my dog was experiencing: "On physical exam, Blue seemed depressed. Mildly hypothermic. Left pupil dialated and did not respond appropriately to light. Blood work was unremarkable. Chest X-rays revealed soft tissue opacity that could be enlarged lymph nodes. His opthamology consultation suggested problem was neurological and not opthalmic decease. The neurologist that performed the neurology consultation was concerned about inflammorty CNS decease or potentially cancer." As of current Blue appears to be fine (not getting any worse). He is a little more active at times. more than he was initially. He is still having accidents at the house. I have a feeling that he is going to get better. However, there was no explanation of Horner's syndrome and from what I have gathered. it's what I'm thinking it is... Does anyone know if Horner's syndrome can be delayed after accident (dog fight/attack). Does anyone also know if lethargy/confusion can be tied to it?

A week ago on 7/12 At 1:45pm I took my baby girl for her first acupuncture session to help with osteoarthritis. She currently takes galliprant and GNC joint meds for it and does really well. 2 days after this on 7/14 in the evening her right eye lid started to droop and her inner (third) eye lid started to show (red). This was worse in the morning on 7/15 and I thought her eye looked a little sunken but for day 1-2 it was better in the evening, even back to normal, so at first we thought she was just really tired before we went to work. Symptoms from day 2-4 were the same. Her second acupuncture session was Thursday evening on 12/18 at 4:45pm(day 5), this is the first day she had yellow discharge in the right, affected eye, and the vet diagnosed horners syndrome with all symptoms except constricted pupil. The vet looked in her eyes and moved her skin all around feeling her head and around the eyes but never did the phenylephrine drops. The vet saw some brown yeasty stuff in her right ear so has me treating for an inner ear infection with mometamax ear drops (past yeast ear infections have mainly been in the right ear). After flushing her ears at the vet and then placing drops in her ears at home, her left eye seemed to be affected a little for the first time. Today 7/19 (day 6) both her eyes are sunken far in, third eye lids really showing, upper eye lids really droopy, yellow discharge in both eyes. With a wet cloth I removed all the yellow discharge. She is pawing at her eyes occasionally as if she is trying to fix the third eye lid or maybe her eyes are dry? I am afraid she may injure her eyes by pawing at them. I would like to get her eye drops but don’t know what drops to get. In summary it has been a week since the first acupuncture session and 2 days later is when the right eye started to droop and each day the symptoms of horners have gotten worse with now both eyes affected and sunken in, third eye lid showing a lot, top eye lid dropping, yellow discharge, and she is pawing at them occasionally. I am worried about dry eye and her possibly injuring or scratching them since she is pawing at her eyes or rubbing her face on the bed/couch/floor. Also I was initially suspecting that maybe the accupuncture may have affected her nerves negatively causing horners to happen? Is this possible? I have read that accupuncture can actually relieve symptoms? Is this true? Any response is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

My golden retriever, Duncan is 5 years old. One night he got very lethargic and was circling,stumbling and not turning to his left. After going to the vet they could not find anything wrong. His ears are clean and there is no smell, but he is being treated for an inner ear infection. After 2 weeks on antibiotics he has made some improvement but not totally back to normal. After his check up today my vet said he now has Horner's Syndrome. He is back on another 2 weeks of antibiotics. Should we have had him scanned or any other tests done? As long as he is improving with antibiotics does that mean it was definitely an inner ear infection? Or could it be something else?

My very sweet pit bull was diagnosed with chronic ear infection. (We got her from the pound about a year ago, not sure of her age). We did the ear drops they gave us for her until they ran out. We started to notice that she had a bad smell from her ears and I went online and ordered Zymox to help. We were using the Zymox for quite some time and the smell went away and she seemed better. The smell then came back so we again used the Zymox, but she seemed to not be getting better because she started walking sideways and her head had a tilt. Took her to the vet who did a vigorous ear cleaning and prescribed ciprofloxacin antibiotic, prednisone and Gentacalm Topical Spray for use as ear drops. She has been on these meds for almost 2 weeks and is not better. The vet said she has Horner's Syndrome and made it sound like it would not get better. Dakota was also vomiting, so the vet said to give her dramamine. Anything else we can do for her? The eye seems really dry and is looking like green pus in it. Any idea if this is permanent or is it possible she may get better?
