Plain-English summary
A puppy was brought in with a condition called Horner's syndrome, which affected one eye and was likely caused by trauma during birth. The puppy showed no other symptoms, and the eye condition was present since the puppy's eyes first opened. Fortunately, all the issues resolved on their own by the time the puppy was 11 weeks old, and no treatment was needed.
