Horner’s syndrome in dogs and cats: signs, causes, diagnosis and treatment
A drooping eyelid, a smaller pupil and a visible third eyelid on one side add up to Horner's syndrome.

Mateusz Wójcik
I am a veterinary technician with several years of experience, which I gained working at one of the largest veterinary centers in Podlasie and during night shifts at Zviropolis. I graduated from a veterinary technical school in Białystok and am constantly developing my skills by studying human nursing.
Emergency medicine is closest to my heart – I thrive in emergency situations where quick action, composure, and knowledge are crucial. I regularly attend courses and training, ensuring I work in accordance with current standards, particularly in the field of resuscitation.
After work, I volunteer to help animals through a foundation and care for my dog, Odi, who was rescued from an emergency. At work, I prioritize commitment, peace, and a sense of security – for both patients and their caregivers. In my free time, I enjoy being active – I love traveling and swimming.
