Eye Injuries in Dogs

My 9 weeks old great dane puppy was bit on the head by another dog and her left eye popped out, we had emergency surgery and it has been sewn shut now for three days, had a check up yesterday but today her eye was very watery and running when she woke up this morning??? She is on antibiotic eye drops, anti inflammatory meds, narcotics, and oral antibiotics. Why was her eye watering down her face today?

My dog recently got into it with my other dog not much larger he seems to have scratched her under her left eyelid which seems to have cause a bit of swelling. She doesn't seemed to be in discomfort and her personality hasn't changed a bit. Just wondering what all could be done to reduce the swelling without a visit to the Vet Clinic

My dog is kind of old but he’s always had good health except when he got into fights. But a few days ago my family has noticed he’s looked sick and has these red bloodshot eyes. Now he’s been constantly scratching his face. I don’t know if dogs can get eye bags but the area around his eyes are darker and looks a bit more sunken in. Is he dying?? I’m really concerned. We never really took him to a vet before because the information we know about him is low. He’s an outside dog and has many ticks even though we try our best to clean him. And he also likes digging into the ground a lot if any of these help. Please help

My 8 y/o Boston Lulu has been experiencing what the vet diagnosed as conjunctivitis. We recently got a puppy, and there has been a lot of rough play. WE assume that puppy scratched her eye. We are using tobramycin drops and ointment for weeks. It's been helping on/off. We started with ointment, but now the drops seem to be working better. Not sure if we should continue with the drops for a bit or go to the pricey ophthalmologist appointment? Her eyes are still watery, cloudy, and now appears to have a blood spot at the top of one of her eyes.

Eye swelling, looks sunk in, discharge, shes blinking alot and mostly keeps it closed, i dont know what happened to her eye please help. Will it heal by itself what should i do

My 3 year old rottweiler was rough housing with her brother while they were wearing their pinch collars. I heard her crying out but I couldn’t see what was happening when I went over they were stuck together and I think the prong got caught in her lower lid. Her eye seemed fine and she just continued walking around. As soon as I got home I noticed he lower lid swollen and some blood and the tear duct. She ate fine and her demeanour was the same. I put the cone on her and a ice back to help the swelling. I will take her to the vet tomorrow but her actual eye looks ok. I’m just concerned about her lower lid and it’s drooping a little bit I thinks because of the swelling. And suggestion on eye drops, pain meds would be great.

My my chihuahua got bit in the eye while fighting with her sister. The eye looks to be bulging out and completely red (iris and all). I am worried at her losing sight or the entire eye. I don’t know what to do because it is currently midnight and all the animal hospitals are closed til the am.

I was playing with my 4 year old shihtzu Isabelle and accidentally elbowed her in the eye . She cried a little than walked away she squinted her eye little . Than I checked the eye and I see a little patch on her eye near the brown part of her eye it was a pinkish cloudy patch . And she had allergies in that eye also so I’m pretty scared if she is gonna go blind on that eye or something . What should I do ?

My dogs eye is watering, she is blinking frequently and I noticed the eye isn’t opening as much as the other eye. Her scelera (spelling) is more apparent on this eye, too. It started within the last 24-48 hours.

My dog got bit by a golden retriever, My vet told me that that the bite on top of his head affected one of the muscles that control his eye. his right eye is red, and its pointing to the right side of his head, and he look like he has a sever lazy eye, and his eye is popping out of its place as its inflamed.
I use eye drops and oral antibiotics.
I am wondering if his eye is gonna go back to normal after a few days ?
or its gonna stay the same way.
Can a surgery be done to fix his eye from looking like a lazy eye? he seems fine and playful as if nothing has happened,

I noticed my 11 month old husky had a discolored eye. We watched it then the next day it as worse. The 3rd eyelid was a little irritated and red, the white of the eye was somewhat bloodshot, and there appeared to be a cut at about 3 o'clock in the iris. I took her to the vet. Once there she just started to keep it shut some and squint. He flushed it, added the flourocein, and examined the eye. She wasn't the best patient, but he didn't see what I saw. It clearly looked like a cracked screen/glass. We started the antibiotic ointment. Today is day 2, 5 doses of the ointment and it appears slightly better but more reddish. It's like she has a hazel eye instead of blue. I don't believe there's anything in there but worried it's worse than we thought. Maybe I should wait longer. She also appears to see fine and is in no pain or changed habits.

My four month old lab got too close to my cat and ended up getting swatted. I didn't think the cat had used her claws until I noticed that the cat cut the third eyelid on my lab. She's not favouring it, her eyes are open fully, and she can close them properly. I did notice this morning (three days after the incident) that there was a lot of eye boogies by both of her eye lids (only one took the trauma) and it was kind of milky. The blood in her eye was only there the day of the incident. Is this something I should be taking my dog into a vet to be looked at, or is it something that will hopefully mend itself? The third eyelid is basically on her eye (the part that was separated)

Hi,
So my dog had a scratched cornea at two weeks old. It was treated with eye drops and an ointment. However over the past few weeks his eye seems to be getting worse. He is now 4 years old and the eye is almost always red and gets a crust that sometimes covers the entire pupil. Today while wiping his eye I noticed a drop of blood on the qtip. I can not afford a $600 veterinary bill right now. Do you think there’s another alternative? Maybe something I can buy over the counter without having to go to the vet.

I'm wondering what to do, my puppy ran into my headboard. Hitting his eye. It's swollen, red eye, some light pus. It's the first time I ever experienced this with my pet.

Just wondering the general cost of eye removal for a dog! She has a detached lense with swelling and some "drainage" minimal! dont want to wait to long if she is in any discomfort!

Another dog attacked my dog. Most of his cuts are superficial and will be fine but I'm concerned about his eye. He has a small cut above it and under it as well. It does not appear that his actual eye is injured in any way. But it is inflamed somewhat and very red. I have been washing it out several times a day with warm water and apply some neosporin. Should I take him to vet or will it heal on its own?

My little dog got stepped on by my other much larger dog about a 1 1/2 months go. When it happened it made a small scratch near her eye and her eye was blood shot and a little swollen. We gave her antibiotics, eye meds, pain meds & a cone to help the injury heal. The injury now looks fully healed now except for the fact that her eye is still slightly sunken only shows 2/3 of normal size. Will a injury like this usually correct on it's on or do cases like these tend to need more invasive surgery for damage beneath the eye? How long of a recovery?

My dogs eye looks like part of it has deflated. He is showing no signs of pain or discomfort, but the lower part of his eyeball is slightly sunken in and looks like a water balloon needs to be filled back up. It's more uncomfortable to look at than it seems like it is to him. I think something similar has happened before when he got something in it and it healed on it own. What I'm trying to find out is if I need to take him to the vet, or if I can treat him at home. and if I do need to take him to a veterinarian, about how much is it going to cost?

my dog scratched her eye yesterday soon as she came inside i noticed her squinting then was closed at nite with a discharge but this morning its open she has cataracts almost 17 deer chihuahua with C.H.F this is her good eye and seems to be blind with this issue bumping into things what can i do

I was playing tug o war with my dog and accidentally scratched his eye with my nail. I can see the scratch is smaller than a pencil eraser and only penetrated the first corneal layer. He doesn't seem to be in pain, he has no discharge, he's opening and closing the eye normally, hes not pawing at it, and doesn't seem to have sensitivity to light. Should I flush it with saline? How long would it take for a wound like this to heal?

My dog got fixed one week . she seemed like she doing fine until yesterday she wouldnt eat and threw up this morning and wouldnt eat today. Her eyes look sunk in its strange. I dont know what to do

I recently adopted a 10 week old puppy who had one cloudy eye. I've since taken her to the vet, who determined that the cause was a previous injury that had already healed, and prescribed no further treatment other than to "watch it." Since then, it seems that some of the clouding has gone away, but there is still a very opaque white spot with some regional clouding around it where the sclera and iris meet (I'm assuming that was the sight of the original scratch.) Is this something I can expect to continue to clear up on its own as time goes on, or is this likely some sort of scar tissue that will be there, along with some degree of cloudiness in the area, for life?
Alternately, is this something that may be helped with some sort to drops or ointment, even though the vet believes the actual scratch has healed, perhaps to treat leftover infection/bacteria/etc.? Should I take her back to request this? She doesn't seem to be bothered by any of this, by the way, though I'm sure she has some vision obstruction in that eye.

My puppy was running around playing and ran right into a metal food bowl, she screamed and blood gushed everywhere. I took her to the vet and was told she cut her upper eyelid inside of her eye. Her eye is still swollen and bloody. I cant eally afford insane vet bills right now so was more curious on how i can nurse her back to health from home?

My son was going to take our dog for a walk, and somehow the end of the leash came back and hit her by the eye. I was not there to see it happen, I do know for sure it was the soft handle end of the leash. KC seems to want to keep the eye closed- so far nothing leaking out of her eye. Do you think we need to bring her in to see the Vet?

Or new puppy has an brownish clear flat bubble on her eyeball in the white part thats covered by her lower eyelid.My family and I have looked at everything on the web and can't find anything like it.she also is pretty clumsly but we dont know if the eye is why.other then the spot on her eye she acts fine and it dosent seem to bother her.what could it be?

What could be causing the third eyelid to not fully retract & pupils to be different sizes after removing a small foreign object off the eye? She is eating, drinking, & acting fairly normal!

My dog was attacked by a cat but seems perfectly fine. Aside from a couple scratches on his face and the white of one of his eyes is slightly red - he's a-okay. He is up to date on all shots, there is no discharge, and he is acting 100% normal. The only concern is the redness. The redness does not cover his pupils. Will it heal on its own without an expensive vet bill?

My dog was scratched in her eye last night by a cat, her eye turned pure red, its watery and it has eye boogers is this sever ? And how much would the cost be to cure this

cat scratched my pup;s eye. He was on 14 days of eye ointment and all the white cloudiness went away, but not the bluish color. took him for a followup and he had an eye stain and the scratch was still healing. He's been on steroid eye drops for 14 days and his eye is still blue and cloudy in the corner of his eye. do i need to bring him back to the vet for another eye stain, or will it heal the rest of the way on its own

My dog had an injury to his eye today (no cuts or bleeding at all). He kept the eye closed for a couple hours and now that he is opening it, I see that it is red and cloudy. He doesn't seem to like looking toward the light and from what I can tell, he may not be able to see completely from that eye but has some visibility. Is this something that can wait until the vet opens up tomorrow or does he need to go in immediately? I'm worried that he will lose his vision in that eye.

My puppy was bit by an older dog on a hike yesterday. There was blood in/around her eye, but the bleeding subsided and I was able to clean up the area. She wasn't closing her eye at all even right after it happened, so may have been just close to the eye. Can't find any noticeable cuts or scratches around the area, but so far her eye doesn't look swollen and vision on that side seems fine. Only thing I'm noticing is slightly more leakage & brown eye boogers on that side (she's always had discharge in both eyes). I'm just wondering if there is cause for concern?
Seems to be acting, eating, drinking, and sleeping normal. Slightly less playful but normal for day after a hike.

How long will imbedded porcupine quill in my dog's face/ eye area take to dissolve, his eye is red and cloudy but he had it opened normally and no discharge . It has been almost two months since he had the visible quills removed, he was given another round of antibiotics today to keep infection from starting. Will his eye recover with more time or more likely that he will lose sight? If he does go blind does his eye after to be removed? What is typical for quill irritation to eye, no visible quill/ulcer/outside cornea wound?

My dog was in a small fight with my other dog of similar size. I was not able to see much of it so I'm not sure what happened. Do you have any ideas? How severe could it be?

Hello, my dogs were rough housing, and I think one of them may have hurt our puppies eye. He made a small yelp and was keeping one eye closed, but only for a minute. His eye is now open and he seems to be fine, no swelling or irritation that I can see, but the injured eyes pupil is now vastly smaller than his other eye. Will this resolve on its own or should I be concerned?

Hi,
My partner was splitting wood and the axe deflected off a log and hit my 6-month-old Australian blue cattle dog pup in the head. He seemed unaffected at the time, but when I went to feed him an hour later I noticed that there is a split in the nose side corner of his right eyelid. The split is about 6mm long, there appears to be no damage to his eye, he is not in pain if I push around the wound and he is not annoyed by it at all.
He appears to be tired and didn't really eat, although we did exercise him heavily (more than ever before) earlier in the day.

Our 8 month old bernese pup was out too long on a hot day & her third eyelid is now covering her eyes. It comes and goes. We went to the vet & her blood work was normal. She is still active & attentive. How long does it usually take for her eyes to go back to normal & for the third eyelid to retract?

On May 8, 2017 My pup was playing with our husky and sustained a really good bite injury to the eye where it filled up with blood. We were given pain killers, artificial tear ointment and steroids. After the eye healed I noticed the pupil is bigger than the other, an appearance of "tapetum lucidum" and I'm pretty sure he can't see out of it. The shale appears normal in size and no clouding. I also have noticed that tear production has decreased in that eye and as a result the other eye has increased tear production. What could be wrong at this point? I am saving my money to take him to an opthamologist but in the mean time I was wondering if you had any good words of comfort?

My dogs usually play fight but this time the girl scratched the boy in the eye. His eye was shut. Like you could barely see his eye. I don't know when this happened so I am not sure if he bled. I just looked at him and noticed this. I have no clue if he's okay or if it's serious. The swelling has gone down a bit so he can blink and i see more of his eye but the top of his eyelid is still swollen and the bottom still red. Should I be more concerned ? Is it going to go away soon ?

What do i do? I was playing with my dog accidentally poked in eye. He seemed fine next day his eye was shut. And it opened the next day but the eyelid was swollen at the bottom. Next day eye still that blue cloudy color and opened but the other eyelid on the other eye is swollen at the bottom. Now they are both swollen with just the eye blue cloudy color

My older dog bit my puppy in both eyes. No vet is open in my area. Bleeding has stopped and he is opening one eye but the other is swelling. I went to the store and got saline and patted the areas. Pharmacist said to give a quarter tab of baby asprin. I have tramidol wich rx said is safe but dont know doseage so not given.

scratched cornea and tear from a cat. he is on proper medication for almost 48 hours. the eye is still cloudy and now the eye is protruding. is that normal for this injury

My puppy is closing her right eye, seems a little light sensitive, and I suspect got dust or something of the sorts in it. She does not have any discharge from her eye. Can she wait until tomorrow to go to the vet, as funds are tight after parvo shots, intitial cost, crate, toys, food etc. and I get paid again tomorrow.

My pug had a corneal abration about 2 months ago. Went to Opthamologist, she was given antibiotic and other ointment plus wore a collar for a week or two. The scratch healed (as per vet inspection) but yesterday I noticed a cloudy area on the iris. Will go to vet tomorrow, but what do you think happened. It was looking fine.

My 6month old puppy has an eye injury. The eye is completely red no white or eye color. I want to take her to the vet but there are none open at this time. I believe the injury was caused by trauma. I was walking and stepped on my poor pup and then triped and fell on her. She screamed and ran.when she calmed down I examined her and other than being shook up she has a little redness around her eye but nothing crazy. I thought she was fine. I had an appointment to go to. I was gone for many hours and had to leave her in the house. When I got home she seemed sore or in pain and I noticed she was pawing at her eye. When I looked it was blood red. What dose this mean could she loose her eye I'm so worried about her. Please give any advice u can

My dog got a tennis ball to the face earlier today (accidentally of course!)
He is fine and is showing only mild signs of discomfort, really just seems a bit sad this whole event, he's been curled up with us sulking this afternoon. There's no trauma to the eye itself and only a small cut to his upper eyelid near the outside corner. There was a small amount of discharge that had blood in it (it looks like usual doggy eye gunk and I think the blood just collected in the corner and mixed in). He's not trying to scratch at it or anything and seems to see fine, but the lid is quite swollen and his third eyelid is often extended almost halfway across but doesn't look sore or inflamed. We wiped it with a wet cloth (both the lid and the eye itself) and obviously intend to keep a check on it, but FP you think we should buy anything specific and/or take him to the vets?
Thanks in advance.
Joey

My 10 week old puppy got scratched in the eye by a cat. Took him to the emergency vet at 12am the vet told me he saw a scratch on his eye and gave me some clear cream to put in his eye every 6 hours for a week. Since he has went to the vet 2 days ago I now notice his eye is cloudy looking. I'm wondering if this will go away or if it will result in him being blind?

My dog was attacked by another dog yesterday night. Her eyes were bloodshot and releasing a little blood, we cleaned her eye up but it was still half open. This morning she woke up with a completely swollen eye with bloody discharge, her eye practically shut. She has been releasing yellow discharge as the day continued. What care does she need?

Our dog ran to the neighbors property where the have horses. When we finally found her her I was red and swollen. There is no more white in the eye it's blood red and kind of bulgy. They have tall grass over there so we don't know if it's the grass or if she got knocked in the eye by one of the horses. We don't see anything in her eye that would cause irritation. It's Sunday and the vet is closed, should we take her in immediately tomorrow? And what do we do in the meantime?

Izzy 9 year old Tiny black pom, developed dry eye, she has been under care with our vet for now 4 months of constant, expensive treatment, every ointments, every drops, some directly ordered from A&M,med is tacrolimus 0.03% well, he wants to remove one eye, its ugly , blood filled cloudy,We probably could have paid for removal of left eye with all treatment so far. she talks a lot as .. always like barking, she seems happy but at night she hides, So surgery for left eye is suppose to happen oct.17, well we noticed other eye doing same thing, so.. its like going downhill from here, she is getting atropine in left damaged severe ye, other the ointment,So we have made appointment for oct 16th to get evaluation now .. cause both look bad now...is she gonna live a descent quality of life if both eyes are removed? or Do i say good bye to her,

i need advice i am on a very low income (disability)and to be honest cannot afford vet cost right now and i dont have any support to help me out financially unfortunately, but um my 3 year old house cat swatted my kory in the face catching her eye area and already i have a very aggressive dog as she went through abuse in here previous home i addopted her from so her trust with anyone is slim and i know her eye is bugging her a bit because she normally will allow me to wipe her tears as i call them she always seems to have runny eyes so after the kitty scratched her i tried to use a warm cloth and lightly wipe her eye and she tried to nip at me not drawing blood thank god but she still cant be trusted to see a stranger vet either plus i have no money its just a bad combo until the end of the month anyways is there some thing you can recommend me to help her at home ?????

I witnessed my cat scratch my 3 month old lab puppy's eye. A puncture to the colored part of the eye was visible to my naked eye, I held a cool cloth on it and we took her to the vet immediately. On the way she sat still and cried in my lap. When we got to the vet she was interested in all the activity and barely showed any discomfort. When the doctor saw her she barely looked in her eye and gave us antibiotic drops. 1) Is an eye injury that easily examined and prognosis given? I've been keeping her inside, out of the sun as much as possible and asleep if possible. Day 2 I can see a pointy pimple like bump at appox 3 (if a clock) on the colored part of the eye. On our first go outside it waters quite a bit and she holds it about half closed. This morning I can see a slight whitish mark about 1/16" long. 2) Is this normal for this kind of injury? 3) Should I take her for a 2nd opinion? 4) Will this affect her sight either now or in the future?

My shihtzu had an eye injury by scratching with nail his eye turned red and his activities lowered a pus like dent was visible in his pupil we have visited a vet but now it's 10 days n we see no improvement rather it's getting worse now. One of the doctor says it's an eye puncture and he will loose vision. We really need to know how it can be healed can't see further pain.

Hi,

My dog is a 16 month old American Bulldog, male, neutered. He has had 3 eye surgeries. He had entropian in both eyes, and a cherry eye in one. He seems to have made a full recovery in all ways except one. Whenever he chews bones, he keeps his eyes closed tightly, and after about 10/15mins his right eye seems to be irritated. He paws at it and it has some discharge. After he is done, his eye seems a bit irritated, but is overall fine. Do you know what could be causing this? I've stopped giving him bones, but would like to be able to. Or at least understand the chewing-eye connection. It is his right eye that had two eye surgeries.

Thanks so much!

Puppy was playing tug with me pulled hard the toy flew out of my hand the knot on the end hit his eye he cried and kept it closed for a bit...then was playful again the whites of his eye are reddish bloodshot..it looked fine and then he slept for hours when he woke up hianeye looks lazy is blinking it more and acting fine however his eye looks lazy to me

I came home from work and noticed my dog's eye was swollen, watery and he kept pawing at it. It is hard for him to open his eye and now there is a yellowish greenish mucus starting to come out. Would it be okay if I rinsed it out with Eye Irritating Solution or is this something I need to take him into the Veterinarian for? Being that I don't have a lot of money left over with it being Christmas time, is there any home remedies I can try first?

Hi There,

My 8 Month old Husky mix puppy was closing one of his eyes for days so we took him to the Vet, They said “ his third eyelid caused a corneal wound and they gave some ointment for his eyes for a week, if it didnt get better, he has to do the surgery and remove the 3rd eyelid” so we waited a week he didnt get better and they did the surgery. This was 3 weeks ago, and he still hasnt got better he still close his eye and under his eye is swollen and his doctor is saying just wait it’ll get better but I’m worried if it is getting worst :( I don’t know if we should wait or should we take him to another Vet!

My dog (Yorkie) was in a fight which led to her eyeball being popped out. We took her to the vet and they popped her eye back in the socket and sewed the lids shut for three weeks. It’s the second day and she is back to normal and you can see she is trying to move the eye. What are the chances that her eye will be saved after three weeks?

My dog which is a Shih Tzu who got hit in the eye on December 13, 2017 accidentally. I took him to the vet on December 15, 2017 to get it checked out. The vet gave me some Neomycin and polymyxin B Sulfates and Dexamethasone Ophthalamic Ointment to put in his eye. There was a lot of swelling and puffiness but over a days the swelling and puffiness has gone done a tremendously. On December 28, 2017 I took him back to the vet for a follow up per the vet and the vet took one small simple look and said he want to take my beloved dog out. I can't fathom the thought of the vet taking his out eye where I am seeing progress. Our dog has returned to normal activities, we are very cautiously as to not bump our dog to cause any pain. My husband is continuing to use the medicine from the vet by putting int in our beloved Bentley eye and cleaning his eye daily. There is still a little oozing from his eye, I notice that once we put the medicine in it. Is there anything you can recommend we can use to help heal the process instead oping to take his eye out?

My 2 month old puppy was playing and ran into our Christmas tree, she cried for a bit & seems to be a little better now. I took a look at her eye & it looks to be bleeding a little bit. It also looks like her pupil is smaller in the injured eye, she’s also squinting a bit. Is this just an irritated eye? Will she go blind??

Not sure what happen to my dogs eyes but she was outside playing yesterday and then last night her third eyelid r partially covering her eyes and she seems sensitive to light also r watery, should this clear on its own if she got dirt or dust n eye from playing and digging n sand...thank u!

My puppy was attacked by another dog. Her lower eye lid appears to be torn, like it has a rip and the whole lower lid isn't connected anymore. Does this require surgery, or stitches? Or should I let her heal on her own? Thank you.

My 14 week old golden retriever was running in the garden and a low branch hit her across her eye. She squinted and blinked a few times then kept playing. Less than 24 hours later the sclera is swollen, but she is keeping her eye open, not blinking more than usual and not pawing at it. She seems to see fine. She doesn't appear to be in pain. She allows me to gently pull her eyelid back to see in her eye. I can't see any foreign objects. Her iris and pupil look normal. She is playing normally and is eating and drinking normally. I'm really worried about the swollen sclera though. It's Sunday afternoon here and all vets are closed. Should I call the vet emergency number or wait until the morning? (about 15 hours until they open). I feel bad disturbing the vet on his one afternoon off a week, but if this is a serious condition I want to get her to a vert ASAP. Would you please advise me?

My Cane Corso puppy scratched her eye somehow and she went to the vet yesterday and they gave us a serum and an ointment to treat it every 3-4 hours for 1 week and I took her Forbes a walk this morning and she ran through a pile of brush and sticks and poked her eye and yelped before I could get her out. Now her eye is even more red and I’m worried her injury has gotten worse. Should I keep treating her with the serum and ointment given by her vet and leave it at that or should I also cover it with an eye patch? I’m so worried about her losing sight and I can’t afford another vet bill. Please help.

One of my other dogs attacked our puppy over a bone when I was in a other room. I'm not sure if she scratched or bit him because I wasn't there to see it but he now has a small scratch on his bottom eyelid and it was bleeding. His bottom lid is also drooping some so that you can see the pink tissue. Is there any chance that his eyelid will move back up to where it should be sitting? We literally just went to the vet today for puppy shots and this happened as soon as we came home. We'd hate to have to go back already and no vets around us are open now (they all close early Saturday and none are open on Sunday).
-
Update: Bleeding has stopped after about 10 minutes. Eyelid is still drooping after 2 hours. His eye is red and he's squinting but there is no actual damage to the eye I think the blood just irritated it.

My dog was hit in the eye now her left eye is different then the other her pupil is smaller on the left then the right now please tell me what can I do please help me help her please

My pug has had both eyes removed 3 years ago. He is now 5. He has an infection and has licked his paws raw. I took him to the vet 2 weeks ago. Got antibiotics and have been spraying his paws with a diluted raw apple cider mixture. Both of his eye sockets were swollen, but now his left socket is extremely swollen. What can i do to get the swelling down before i can get him back into the vet?

My 14 year old Poodle mix had her eye removed in Feb. 2016, in which my vet informed me that sometimes the eye socket will remain swollen/bulge and sometimes they sink in - it just depends on the dog..? Addie’s stayed swollen and she’s now completely blind. Last week, she walked into the wall bumping her head where her eye was removed, it swelled up and turned reddish/purple, I called her vet, and he said to give it time it was probably just bruised. Well it was getting better, but she bumped it again this week, and we’re back to where we started, only this time she seems to be in a lot of pain. She’s restless, whimpers, and only calms down when I’m holding her or right next to her. She’s drinking excessive amounts of water, she’s eating a little, but not much. Her grooming couldn’t even be completed bc she’s snippy, therefore she’s matted under her neck/chin, and all of her under side. I’m afraid my vet will tell me it’s time to put her to sleep, but I want to know if there’s anything that can be done to help her considering it’s very difficult to get her to take any type of medications.

My puppy got scratched in the eye by a cat I brought her right away to the pet hospital and was told she might need surgery because the eye got punctured. What is the price range for a surgery like that?

My dog just got attacked by 4 other big dogs and now in the top corner of his eye, it is really red and looks bloodshot. He now has a little bit of a red discharge from his eyes. This happened about 20- 30 minutes ago. What should I do?

What do I do to help my puppy? He was attacked by another dog and he’s pretty small and his eye is bleeding. I don’t know what to do. He acting really hurt and so I let him sleep and I checked on him and after like 3 hours he woke up and ran out wagging his tail.

My dog got hit in the eye with a toy that sling shotted back at him from tug a war. His eye is a bit swollen, but he has it open now, it is red, and now i noticed a white layer of skin covering a bit of his eye.

My puppy was scratched in the eye by my cat last night, and now his cornea is a grayish color with a yellowish discharge. He blinks his eye alot, and rubbs at it. What should I do? Is there any way I can treat this at home?

My dog ERIC 4 years, has detached retinas. The top part of the retina has detached and fallen down across the bottom part of the retina. At the moment he can just see some shadows. The retinas can't be reatached. Would the top part of the retina which has fallen down be able to be removed? If so would this continue to give home some sort of cloudy image Via the bottom part of the retina alone. Thankyou
P.s. we have seen a vet but didn't ask this question

I was rough housing with my 3 month old aussie pup and managed to hit him in the eye with the corner of a pillow. His sclera is now bloodshot and his third eyelid is visible on the bottom left corner of his eye. The pupil is also dilated. I have a vet appointment tomorrow for another round of puppy shots, but wondering if I need to go to the emergency vet asap. He does not seem bothered by the trauma, nor is he pawing or squinting from it. It's been about 30 minutes since this happened and it seems like it might be clearing up a bit.

I live in a place with no emergency vet care options. My dog was scratched in the eye by a cat. His eye is watering and irritated. You could see the scratch when it first happened. Not sure if it is still visible, as the dog is sleeping. I can get him in at 9am in the morning, but that will be 24 hrs after the injury. My question is what do I do for him in the mean time. Is 24 hrs too long to wait,not that I can do anything about that part.I feel helpless and just want to do what is best for my doggy.

Yesterday, I took my pittie to the river. He likes to snorkel for rocks and run through the brush. I had to clean the algae off his face a few times. I noticed last night his eyes were red around the outside and red on the white of the eye. I did a simple flush last night but this morning both eyes are red and watery and he keeps blinking his right eye. If his cornea is scratched, is there an over the counter eye ointment I can use or should I take him to the vet?

At 8 weeks old my puppy, English Golden, ran into the table leg and began bleeding profusely from his nose. We rushed him to the emergency vet, after 24 hours he came home; nothing broken his eye was sunken in and closed. Three weeks and his eye is only 1/4 open and appears to be turned in or cross-eyed. The vet said to give it 4 weeks, one week and a day away. I am a wreck.He is happy and doing well with all of his puppy training but I really just want to know if there is any possibility it can heal or the possibility treating. Lisa

my puppy was scratched by my sisters cat (fully vaccinated) and it caught the left eye. Initially he had his eye shut and yelped. I took a damp cloth and wiped it. Now he is opening his eye with no problem, he does not seemed phased by it at all, will let me touch it and examine the eye (the best I can for trying to keep a 3 month old puppy still). There's a slight reddness to left corner in the white area. I've been watching it, and he seems fine. I'm just worried, knowing how much bacteria can be on a cats claw. Should I take him the the ER vet, watch it until morning and take to my vet, or watch him for a few days to see if it heals on its own?
Thank you!

So a week ago my roomate woke up and found his dog with a swollen and shut with discharge, I opened it gently to see if she had something stick in her eye and found the whole eye cloudy, so we took her to the vet, cause she a little over a year and was in prefect health the day before. The 1st vet ran a couple of test and found that fluid got into third layer of her eye most likely by blunt force truma,UV her eye and didnt find any cuts tho looking in the back we did relize that she mite have hit her eye on this glass tabke in the back.
So on the second visit a different vet saw us. Her cloudiness retracked just over her iris, tho it was still the same size as when she did with the first vet.She told us that we need to A-remove the eye B-have a surgery to remove or dissolve the third eyelid to save the eye, so couple of questions, I scheduled an appointment with the orginal vet, cause she would be able to see and note the differnce from day it happen until now which will be a week and half, today her cloudiness is just over her pupil but her eye is still swollen.
MEDS
Vet A) Neomycin and ploymyxin B sulfates and dexamethasone ophthalmic Suspension
Vet B) Rimadyl and those eye drops
Should the dogs eye still be that swollen? Or any advice, dog is like family to us and we dont want to remove her eye with out a second option and maybe a third
Thanks for the time

Hello, my 7-month-old Chihuahua was hit in the left eye pretty hard when playing with our other dogs. Its now swollen and she can only open it if she is looking straight up, all i can see is that her pupil is extremely small, the eye looks a little cloudy as well. I believe the trauma mightve been severe as her right eye has redness as well. Please, what should i do?

I accidentally hit my dog in both his eyes with my lacrosse stick. I think I hit him pretty hard. He has been squinting his eyes for the last couple hours. I wanted to bring him to the vet, but it's closed. I'm not sure if it is severe enough to send him to the animal hospital.
