Plain-English summary
Two Dobermanns developed Horner's syndrome, which can cause drooping eyelids and a sunken eye, after having surgery for neck problems. Tests showed that the issue was related to nerve damage from the surgery. Fortunately, both dogs recovered on their own within a month without needing additional treatment.
