Don’t think that dogs look cute and have no personality. In fact, some of them have even more stubborn tempers than humans! Some pet owners find that their dogs will roll their eyes while raising them, and some dogs will sleep with their eyes rolled. Why is this?

1. Normal phenomena

Normally, when a dog's eyelids tremble before falling asleep normally, they will no longer tremble after entering a deep sleep. This will cause the dog to roll its eyes while sleeping. For dogs, this is to block light and is a biological instinct. Just like when a person is asleep, if you gently open his eyelids, you will see that his eyes are white. Only sleeping people or animals can do this.

2. Causes of disease

Of course, there may also be other abnormalities when a puppy rolls his eyes. For example, if a dog suffers from eye disease, it may roll its eyes abnormally while sleeping. Or it may have been infected with parvovirus or canine distemper. These diseases may cause the dog to roll his eyes and sleep.

3. Precautions

Owners need to note that normal dogs will not have other abnormal symptoms when they roll their eyes. However, dogs that roll their eyes due to illness will also develop some other symptoms, such as runny nose, convulsions, tears from the corners of the eyes, abnormal secretions from the corners of the eyes, etc. If you find any of these abnormalities in your dog, you must pay attention and take your dog to the pet hospital for examination and treatment immediately.
