Hello sisters, I have a slight problem. In my heart of hearts I have an issue with an owner putting an animal down for no other reason than a deformaty. I understand not wanting the gene to pass on but not to terminate the animal. Anyway I adopted a 5 mo nubian Doe today that seems to have an eye deformity that I can not find any information about. Her eyes are bugged out and they seem to move seperately. To me I would call her cross-eyed, however it also appears that her lids are turned, exposing the inside of the eyelid. She is very sweet and doesn't seem to have any issues with her eye-sight. Any ideas or theories will be appreciated.

I would have a check up with the vet just to see how serious it is and if it actually needs vet care. If it is just a deformity that she can live with then I would just love her and let her be.

Overactive thyroid in humans can make the eyes bug out.
