“It’s been horrible – Chester developed sudden red and gunky(黏糊糊的，有分泌物的) eyes in May,” said Elizabeth, whose six-year-old cavachon(卡瓦雄犬（混种犬）) “can’t open his eyes” on many days.
“太可怕了——切斯特在五月份突然眼睛发红、分泌物增多，”伊丽莎白说，她那只六岁的卡瓦雄犬很多天“眼睛都睁不开”。
The 29-year-old civil servant is one of a number of people who contacted the Guardian because they are concerned about a potential link between a recalled dog food and their pet’s eye condition.(这位29岁的公务员是众多联系《卫报》的人之一，因为他们担心被召回的狗粮与宠物眼部问题之间存在潜在关联。)

Elizabeth, who did not want to give her surname, said she and Chester had been to see vets more than 10 times in recent months, and they had all been “totally stumped(被难住，困惑)”. Chester was initially treated for conjunctivitis(结膜炎), before Elizabeth was told it could be hay fever(花粉症，枯草热) because of the lack of rain and high pollen count(花粉计数), and then the vet thought her pet might have an autoimmune disorder(自身免疫性疾病).
不愿透露姓氏的伊丽莎白说，最近几个月她和切斯特去看兽医超过10次，兽医们全都“束手无策”。切斯特最初被当作结膜炎治疗，后来伊丽莎白被告知，由于缺雨和花粉浓度高，可能是花粉症；接着兽医认为她的宠物可能患有自身免疫性疾病。
