Julia Miller, DVM: [Horner's syndrome is] essentially when [pets] have an infection in their middle ear that can actually damage the nerves that are there.

So their eye could be a little bit too small, they can end up having enophthalamus which means that it shrinks into the head, their third eyelid will prolapse, sometimes you can actually see a little head tilt.
