Red Eye in Dogs

We have a 5 month old sheepadoddle. He's very healthy and has recieved all of his shots so has seen the vet a few times. Two days ago one of his eyes started getting red. He is a black dog with black eyes. On the eye with the redness, you can now see a bit of white around it. He is not acting differently - no scratching, regular urinating, regular eating, etc.

My 1.5 year old lab mix has had one red eye on and off for a couple of months. We take him to the vet and they just say he has pink eye. They prescribe antibiotic eye drops. We complete each therapy and the eye seems to be doing better, but then comes back a few days later. It’s only one eye and there’s no discharge or smell. He doesn’t seem bothered by it. It’s not cloudy. Just seems irritated.

My Pit has had a red eye with green discharge for two days. I've given him Benadryl and it'll clear up mostly for a while. What else can I give him. The red eye and discharge started after I gave him a bath and wiped his face with a wet washcloth

My 11 month old golden retriever had a flare up with his eye 5 months ago after a very exciting snow walk (he was running the entire time and kept putting his face in the snow/eating it). Right when we got in the car, his eyes looked like he had a hard time opening them - it kind of looked like he was just very tired but the third eyelid was coming up and covering most of both eyes. I was very worried but my vet was closed so I let him sleep it off.... It seemed to go away that next morning and did not come back until the day he was neutered. After neutering, this came back and his third eyelid started to show almost every day while on the pain meds.... It doesn't seem to bother him much... Sometimes he would paw at it but most of the time he just looked very tired. 3 months later, the eye is acting up again and I took him into the vet. She prescribed an ointment for his eye since she thought it was an eye infection... It went away after treatment but now has come back randomly only on some days. I have kept track of the occurrences and it seems like whenever we go outside and play for long amounts of time, the eyelid will come up and show. It is weird though.... Only in some parts of town. When I play with him at my parents house, he is totally fine when he comes inside their house. What the heck is happening? I don't want to have to keep paying bills for the vet if they just keep giving eye infection ointment. Could this be happening because of allergies? Or something that I am using in my house (cleaning supplies/etc.?) We also have a lot of hair because golden retrievers shed A LOT... I did notice a hair in his eye when the third eyelid showed up a couple days ago so I tried to flush it out. Maybe this happens every time something gets in his eye? But it is odd that it showed when he was on the pain meds - every single day. I just would like to get this figured out so I feel safe bringing him out in the environment for play time.

my 2 year old pug has one red eye, he doesn't rub his eye, blink, no discharge from eye, no swelling around the eye, he's playful, runs around in the back yard, no lost of appetite, drinks water, goes potty and urinates regularly. just his eye is red. could he have allergies to type of food, cleaning products

My chihuahua was stung by a yellow jacket bee 3 weeks ago both of his eyes have turned red, swollen and now is blind and losing weight quickly, his heart rate is very fast all the time. He is 13 years old I can't afford a vet for help. Is there a program in Washington State to help with low income households to get him seen and treated. *m afraid he will die if I can't get him help

My dog is a 21 month old Dutch/German shepherd mix. She has a history of inexplicable health problems and has seen many vets, including specialists. After months of itching it became clear that she is sensitive to poultry and beef. She is a on limited, grain free diet with lamb as the primary protein.
She's been doing well but last week she started scratching alot despite recent flea treatment. No signs of fleas or skin issue.
Saturday we went to offleash park. She played and acted normally with my other dog. On walk home she started looking a bit off and hanging back. I thought maybe she smelled a skunk. Shortly after she suddenly laid down on the sidewalk and curled up like she was going to sleep. This was on the sidewalk of a busy freeway overpass- an area she is usually trying to get away from ASAP.
She got up when induced with treats and walked again, but repeatedly tried to lay down along the way. I ended up pushing her the rest of way home in a shopping cart.
Once home she was still interested in food and alert, but I noticed she was squinting. Her right eye more so than left. Her eyes under the lid were red. She was lethargic but still alert and eating/bathroom normally. I gave her a half dose of Benadryl (she's 53 lbs and I gave her 25 mg) in case it was allergies. Temp was 102.
Sunday she was still interested in food but much more lethargic. Eye more swollen. Seemed to be eating more slowly and delicately. Took her to vet. Slight fever. Full blood panel was mostly normal with slightly elevate WBC. Vet thought it was allergies and said if worsened, we'd do antibiotics. Sunday night she ate, but noticeably slower and more gingerly. Per vet, gave her benadryl, but when I opened her mouth, she cried out, which is not normal. I checked her mouth and throat. No signs of pain in her mouth, no noticeable swollen tonsils (she has had swollen tonsils in the past that required antibiotics).
Monday morning she didn't want to get out of bed. I tried feeding her some cooked lamb that was a bit dried out and she wanted to eat but appeared to have difficulty chewing it. She ate her small kibble. Her eye was more swollen and both eyes looked like they were barely open. Took her to emergency vet who thought it might be retrobulbular abscess from foxtail. Took to my regular vet who did exploratory eye procedure and kept her overnight. No abscess, no foreign body found. Checked mouth and throat and found nothing. Vet said eye inflammation likely caused by allergic reaction though the swelling is very severe. Gave clindamycin topical and oral cephalexin.
Brought my dog home today and she is still very lethargic, eye is huge (vet said probably worse from the procedure). She ate normally, and pooped a bunch. There was some fresh blood at the end of her pooping. That was new.
I don't know what to do. She looks awful. Obviously feels awful. But three vets don't know what exactly is going on. And I don't know how long I should wait for improvement before taking her to a specialist. The holistic vet that has seen her in the past thinks it's immune related response/allergies, which makes sense in light of my poor dog's short but unhealthy life so far. But if it's an allergic reaction, to what?
Any thoughts appreciated. I am not sure what to do next.
Thank you.

My 6 month old puppy has had red eyes pretty much since we got him. The vet has never said anything but we always forget to ask. He doesn't scratch at his face or seem irrated by them. What are the odds it is just allergies or something more serious?

My dogs eyes look a bit red is there any otc medication I can buy for him

My cocker spaniel eyes are very red, she is also licking her front paws excessively . And her eyes are very leaky. She is 7 years old. Last time I brought this up to her doctor , he said it was allergies and gave her a allergy shot. I think it may be something more.

Hi! We just got our dog Roxy. We noticed red spots on the whites of her eyes that werent there when we got her. It kind of looks like blood pooling. They don't seem to bother her, there's no discharged, cloudiness, or anything like that. Her and my other dog play pretty rough so I'm assuming it might be from trauma. I'm not sure though. What could be causing it?

My mini schnauzer had to be sedated for a rectal exam. Prior to sedation vet tried to exam her and she was screaming. When we picked her up her eyes were bloodshot red. No white shows. Vet said could be from sedation or stress. Prescribed her neomycin and polymyxin B sulfates and dexamethasone ophthalmic ointment. I read it's for bacterial infections so I don't want to give to her. Would stress or sedation cause red eyes? Treatment? How long will it last? Thank you.

Hi.. I'm from India. My 5 year old Beagle here has redness of eyes and his eyes look cloudy with continuous white discharge coming from within his eye. (more than normal) We keep cleaning his eyes all the time. It's almost 6 months now. The veterinary doctor here gave drops for a few days then simply said that its bound to happen with old age. 5 isn't that old and hence I'm worried and wish to get a consult. Thank you.

Right eye red, third eyelid slightly overlapping but seems to be healing.
Not bothering him or showing signs of discomfort.
Only seems to get worse at night.
Only started yesterday; seems to be getting better

My dog Moe was diagnosed with a small corneal ulcer and given medicated drops from the Vet. We finished those and took him to a follow up partly because he was due, but also his eye was still swollen red and he avoids sun. They gave us a a salve to administer to the eye and told us if it doesn't clear up we would have to go to the optometrist. Is there a test a normal vet could do to see what's going on. The vets said the ulcers had healed and the conjunctivitis looks to be cleared up but his eye is still red and a bit swollen if something is stuck in the eye is it safe to flush it. He has an optometry appointment but it's far out. HELP!!!!

My dog started out with his right eye being blood shot and a little puffy.. but over the past 3 days his eye has gotten worse and is now completely cloudy and blood shot...

What should I do if my 16 month old german shepherd/ malamute mix has a bloodshot eye? Only one of her eyes are red and there is green discharge. She does not seem to be in discomfort and theres no swelling.

Hi, my dog Trixie was rescued and she was as they call the runt of the litter. Her left eye got a red lump on it with cloudiness on the corners of the eye and the skin around the eye (on the inside) was also blood red and it seeped green on the corners. I took her to the vet, they put fluorescent drops in and decided to put a gauze on her eye to heal it. She also had 3 rounds of antibiotics. Now the lump is gone but the whole eye is blood red, cloudy and it's spread to her other eye too! She also can only see a little bit in both eyes as she keeps walking into things and misjudging things. I'm going to the vet tomorrow morning but I don't have a lot of faith in the vet as they keep saying "there's no lump anymore" and only send me away with antibiotics! Any ideas on what the issue could be so I can suggest it to my vet?

Her eyes for several years get bloodshot just rubbings against things. Thought it was allergies but it still happen when I gave her allergy meds. I have no clue what the pills the vet gave her nor what the cause was. Thought they helped but the 2 exam of same did not work. Her eyes can be fine one minute and the next look like there bleeding. Last night she turned and stretched her eyes to look and in the corner it started coming out. Gave her allergy pill and hemp oil last night and was fine this morning and all day. She just rubbed her nose on me and they turned red. I am afraid they will pop out and also suspect Lyme disease as me and my son have chronic because of misdiagnosed. Now the other 2 pups are getting red eyes, limp after play and sleep all the time total opposite of a year. Need A. Lyme doctors in bacon MI

My dogs eye has gotten progressively worse over the passed few days, from a slightly irritated eye to now a reddish bump on her eye. I am using an Elizabethan collar to keep her from scratching it, and just began using eye drops the Vet said was safe to use before the red bump appeared. Would like to know if I should continue administering the drops, or should I take her back to the vet?

Is there any OTC medication or any in home treatment we can administer for this?

My 5 year old chocolate lab started off with one eye becoming very blood red and irritated. He couldn't even open the eye because he looked as though it was very painful. At first we thought it was an injury to the eye but it soon spread to the other eye. Now three days later both eyes are very blood red and the initial eye that what hurting is now cloudy over the cornea. We are extremely worried that he could be going blind. At this point we have been giving him what the vet prescribed witch is neomycin and ploymyxin B sulfates and bacitracin zinc ophthalmic ointment. We have been administering that to him three times a day. He has had 4 doses to far and there is absolutely no change in his eyes. We don't know what this could be but we know he is in pain and cannot even open his eyes and even when he does he clearly cannot see because he has been running into walls. Can you please give us advice on what to do next?

We rescued Paisley in June. The whites of her eyes are alway bloodshot looking. The degree var never goes away. In addition the skin on her eyelids and on her snout near her lips and nose is pink too. Similarly the degree changes but never entirely goes away. There is no swelling and it does not appear to be painful or bothersome to her. One vet said she suspected seasonal allergies and said to wait until winter. She advised that if allergies were the culprit the red would go away during winter. It's January....and the redness is the same and fluctuates a similar degree as it did during summer and fall months. A second vet saw her and he said if it's not bothering her, it's safe to leave it untreated. I'm still concerned to know the source and make changes to help her. What causes might fit this scenario? What things should I do, not do, or change because of this? I can send a photo if it would help.

Dogs left eye was very red, swollen, cloudy and had massive discharge. The whole eye lid/around the eye looks as tho he was punched in the eye; swollen, red, almost bloody/black and blue looking like. Took him to pet emergency where they did an eye stain to check the cornea and a pressure test. All was good except eye pressure was low. There was no signs of an ulcear. They deemed this a chemical burn from some product that must have gotten into his eye and infected it. Was prescribed 3 medicines and have been following them properly for the last 2 days but eye is not showing signs of relief. Personally looks as thought its getting worse or not progressing at all. My dogs overall behavior is normal aside from this hes eating and remaining upbeat. Until its medicine application time. He closes that eye so tight as tho the application is very painful for him. I strruggle to get it all in his eye properly. My question is how long until I should expect to see some improvement? When should I contact the vet for follow up? Will my standard vet be able to help with treatment anymore then the emergency vet? Is there something else I can do to help aide in his comfort or soother to help heal this sooner?

My dog has a red bump protruding from the top of his eyelid. He was rubbing the other side of his face on the bed when I noticed it. It kind of fits the description for a cherry eye, but I don't know what could have caused it. He has never had this before, but sometimes his eyes leak a little too much. We thought the cause of that was either his age or possibly a small infection. What should we do?

I noticed my 8yr old Yorkie was squinting with his right eye the other day. He has always had a lot of build up around his eyes that I am constantly cleaning. I assumed that was what was bothering him so I cleaned his eyes. And noticed the white of his eye was very red and he has a cloudy patch . I started using a sterile eye was for dogs but I'm not seeing much difference. Any advice?

My dogs eye started getting red this morning, it started to run a little (tears) now both eyes are red we gave him benadryl as well as we bought some eye antimicrobial ophthalmic gel were not sure if it's helping.He is acting happy and playing as usualy could it be allergies? He is 6. Any Advice?

We came home from vacation and discovered a red lump (about the diameter of a green pea) on his eye. As his eyelids are very droopy and he is stubborn and won't let me get a very good look, it's hard to pinpoint exactly where the lump is (I think it's on the iris.) His eyes are also cloudy and I have polymycin drops that I've been using. Since he's exceptionally old he's started having more ear, eye and skin infections. I have an appointment for him on Friday. However, with him being a 13 year old basset hound, I'm perpetually terrified that any vet visit could be the last. I just don't want him to be miserable. He still eats but his demeanor has changed. Any ideas?

My dog is 9 years old and started with cataracs when 3 yrs old, but is now having very inlarged eyes (fluid in the cornia above the pupil) with bloody red whites. Vet has prescribed drops of Timolol Maleate Ophthalmic Solution twice a day, but that does not seem to keep it controled.
Am not able to find what these symtoms would indicate he has. what are your thoughts. He is half toy poodle and half bijon frise.

My dog has been having a red eye for a couple of days. It seems somewhat swollen but not too much. She keeps putting her paw to her eye as if trying to scratch it. It's the 4th day now and there seems to be a red dot in the middle of her pupil. The other eye has no signs of this. I'm worried as to what this might be.

My dog was staying at the minders for 3 days (they came highly recommended but this was her first stay) when I picked her up I noticed the whites of her eyes were blood red. I asked what had happened and the said they were like that when she arrived which they most definitely were not. I took her straight to the vet who is doing a full boold screen. He asked had she been fighting which I've never known her to do but I did check with the minders and they said "no". The vet also mentioned a possible trauma to her head which obviously has upset me greatly!! She isn't pawing at them and they aren't watering and have no discharge. I'm worried sick it could be something serious? Also heartbroken that she might have been hit in some way. She seems in quite good form and behaving her normal loveable self. Just wondered what your opinion was. Many thanks

I have 9 year old Dachshund she was born with her third eyelid covering half her eye. No problems until a few weeks ago her eye was swollen and she wouldn’t open it. Vet gave her an antibiotic she did a test didn’t see anything on the eye. Now it’ looks like pupil is gone and her whole eye is reddish pink almost maroon

My chihuahua got out of house and came back with what looks like a blood blister on one eye. Swelling has now gone down around the eye but blister remains. She can barley open her eye. Her eye is cloudy with this huge blister covering her iris. Other eye is fine. I’m thinking maybe someone kicked her or threw something at her or maybe mailman possibly maced her. How can I help make it better

My 9 month old min pin/husky/boxer mix was neutered two weeks ago. After having an ecollar on for 14 days to prevent him messing with his stitches, we went to take the collar off and he immediately started pawing at and rubbing his eyes. They are both red and maybe a little puffy. He has some discharge but it doesn't appear to be anymore or any different than the little bit of discharge he always has had. We took the ecollar off of him yesterday to go on a walk and he wasn't rubbing his eyes then so I don't think it's been going on long. We put the ecollar back on him to stop him from pawing at his eyes (he doesn't mind the collar. What should we do? Could it be related to the neutering procedure? Thanks!

I was wondering about my dog because I observed that his eyes is always wet and I've noticed that it has a red spot of his eyes and always yawning. Hope I can get an advice and what do I need to do. Thank you.

Lady, my dog, has redness in her right eye where it is supposed to be white. She isn’t rubbing it from what i’ve seen and it doesn’t seem to hurt her. What should I do to help her? My family doesn’t have a lot of money for a visit to the vet but we also want her to be safe.

Hi.I found a dog left deposit but notice he have red spot in one eye.Seller sed vet.cheked capiliars nothing seriuoly.But im nor sure if he sick.Looks helathy plauful pupie.

My 11 y/o husky was just treated at the vet for this. He has a small re bump on the inside of his upper eyelid. I didn't notice it until he was pawing at it and I looked a bit closer and found this. He was prescribed an antibiotic ointment to drop in his eye 3 times a day. The vet says this if this doesn't help he would need to have surgery to remove it. I would like to exhaust all options before we put him under. Was wondering if there is anything else we should talk to her about before me make this decision. It has been a few days and it doesn't look like it's getting smaller or bigger.

My dog has her eyes red , she can barely open one of them . It started this morning , she didn’t do anything unusual. Normally she is jumping and running but now she just lay down and try to sleep but she wakes up every other minute just complaining ,

An ultrasound was done but radiologist felt too risky to aspirate. Report shows a mass behind left eye, either a poorly differentiated mass or inflamation of the fat behind the eye. sent home with antibiotics clindamycin ,eye ointment , drops and deramaxx eye is slightly less swollen today. ate well but only opens mouth about 1and half inch. Could this be a dental issue? I will most likely have my vet do dental x-rays the coming week. What do you think?
Thanks

Took dog to vet on Tuesday because eye swollen and 3rd eye red. Green pus drainage. Antiobotic ointment, duramaxx and drops. Back to vet on Friday as no improvement. Oral antibiotic started. Off to emergency vet Saturday with increase edema of eye, difficulty opening mouth. Test shows solid mass behind eye. Stronger antibiotic. Cont duramaxx, ointment for eye. Poor little dog can't close eye it's so swollen. I'm at a loss as to what to do next. Help.

my 6 yr old Labrador we have noticed a red dot inside his eye inside the iris could you say what it is? is it dangerous?
showing no signs of symptoms as such its just visually wen you look into his eye tou can see it.

Our dogs eyes become red very quickly and he is now having a hard time opening his eye. He did not get into anything that we know of. We do notice it is effecting his right eye more then his left. But he is acting otherwise normal. Should we give him a Benadryl and let him sleep it off through the night or do you think we need to take him to the emergency vet tonight. The symptoms started around 8:30 and it is now almost an hour and a half later.

The white surrounding my one of my dog’s iris has puffed up and turned dark and bright red in color. Possibly blood red. There is no discharge or excess tears that I can tell. When I lift the lid up of her eye, I can tell that there is a very significant raise in the blood red part surrounding her iris. She just got spade the day before I noticed this. Wondering if the pain medication or something the vet gave her could contribute to this.

Our family has a goldendoodle, 19 months old, received him from a service dog organization in November, so he has been with us for two months. In those two months he has had diarrhea on and off, eats grass like a cow, gags on a daily basis, and doesn't eat or drink some days. He is on prescription dog food (gastrointestinal), probiotics, and I give him pepcid, none of which are helping. This past week, things have gotten worse: he has had bloodshot eyes, diarrhea, constipation, gagging, coughing, vomiting, and is not his usual energetic self - a lot of moping and laying around and slow response time. Took him to the vet, and discovered he has loads of giardia, so he is on meds for nausea, intestamine, and metronidazole. He hasn't had a bowel movement in three days, is hardly eating, drinking a little, but still has bloodshot eyes that have become cloudy, he is still lethargic, and he is isolating himself at times throughout the day. Also, his medical history from the service dog organization showed rounds of giardia and camplyobacter. This has been a continuous cycle for him. Is it possible that our service dog has an underlying health condition that is causing all of this?

Hello, in the last month or so my dog's eyes have been rather bloodshot. They don't seem to be bothering her, and no eye discharge. I have brought her to the vet twice, 2 weeks apart, and all tests remain normal (pressure, tear, tumor test..). She was on antibiotic eye drops which didn't improve the redness. There is also brown outlining her blue eye. Could this just be allergies?

Our Cocker Spaniel has redness in her left eye. She is not acting different then normal. We noticed this on Christmas eve. She was fine before family came over. My nephew was harassing the dog which caused stress to Oreo. We of course put a stop to it but we noticed her eye was extremely red and Chad white discharge. I used a warm cloth to wipe the discharge off and then held a cold compress on it. Yesterday it looked a little bit better. Oreo is not pawing at her eyes and seems just fine otherwise. Can stress cause redness in eye?

Our dog started to get a red eye a couple days ago we didn't know what it was and thought it would go away soon. It's been 2 days and we think that a neighborhood cat might have scratched his right eye. It appears cloudy he likes to keep it close most times and won't let anyone touch it .I don't what it could be?

6 year old male german shepard has eye snot in his right eye . He is too protective to take to the Vet. but got medication eye drops from him . didnt work what to do ? I wont drug him up but need help .

My dog just developed a small bump on the white of her eye. It is in the corner of the eye and on the bottom. She seems fine, isn't rubbing eye. Eating, sleeping, playing as normal.

Hello there I have 6 years old Belgian Malinois. Her problems started maybe 3 or more years ago. Red and visible third eye lid. The discharge was white to green/yellow, very sticky. After 2 of the best vet ophthalmologist in the town, she was diagnosed with Keratoconjunctivis sicca KCS. They just make schrimer tear test and look the dog eyes through their ophthalmologist tool (I don't know the name of it) and said that diagnose. No matter they saw the dog have bald spots around the eyes (look like some fungus maybe), also dog ears and eyes are very itchy. So I started with cyclosporine eye drops. Already 3-4 years I'm giving them twice daily. But last year my dog get pregnant and birth six wonderful little Malinois. First of all I'm not very sure if those vets do their job proper. Both of them produce and sell cyclosporine by themselves. So it's good for them to buy from them until the dog is alive. Second they was very fast and sure about their examination results and didn't want to hear me about some other symptoms that I saw before. Third when I ask the second vet if it's possible KCS to be caused from another problem, like fungus or other he said its not possible. The main problem is that I ask 3 times before breed the dog if KCS is hereditary disease. The vet said it is not or there is no scientific evidence to be. So we breed the dog. And now 3, 5 month old malinois got eyes problems for sure. Same symptoms, they all have itchy eyes and ears, red and visible third eye lid. So I'm little bit angry. Not sure what to do and think. If it is KCS is there a chance to be curable if I cure some other basic problem. I think to take eye discharge and blood sample and take them in human laboratory to test them and see if there is some reaction from antibiotics or other drugs. Please give me advise. No more good vets here and im not sure if those was good at all. I wanna save all those puppys eyes from eye drops for life.. :(

My dogs eyes are appearing with a large blue haze over them and the red eye is have irritation. She appears to be walking right and still eating. Nothing out of the ordinary. Still very active and loving. Her eyes just have me worried and I would like to keep her around longer even though she is getting old. Looking for advice.

Siberian Husky Puppy 4 months old notice bloodshot eyes on her she does love to dig and put her wholes face in the dirt so not sure if she irritated them or alleregy

My ten year old mixed breed hound has one eye that continues to be red after treatment. His vet ran several tests & all came back negative, no injury, glaucoma, etc. Prescribed some medication and drops and within a week the eye improved somewhat. Continued with drops for two more weeks. Eye was better, but not 100%. Vet revisit, said continue with second round of drops. Once we ran out of drops, the redness returned fully within a few days. Doesn't seem to bother him, but we're still concerned. Have already spent $300 and are at our limit. Any advice?

It is very irritating how they don't have any type of information about medical pit bull treatment or problem online search. however my question is what time of eye drops can i get my pit bull that has itchy swollen eye? ( without bringing her to the vest because it's so much money)

My dog has his right eye red. He has been like that since Friday i believe. It got worse since I didn’t treat it. My dad had some construction going for a whole week so there was a lot of dust so it might be because of that but I’m not sure

Hi,
My dog got a blood red eye completely spread on her previously white area right after a spay neuter surgery.
I don't know what has gone one over there. But I am going to take her back and seek answers on Monday. but till then what do you think could have been the reason?

My dogs eye started to swell and white of eye bloodshot now it also is red the brown part of his eye is red, I am afraid it is bleeding behind his eye. My vet took a reading and said his pressure in eye was 49 told me to take him to an ophthalmologist trying to find one that is not as expensive she wants $250. just to look at him unfortunately I can't afford it. Can you tell me what you think the problem might be, it also drips and I wash it each day with eye wash

My 7 month old Terrier mix puppy has red eyes. I took her to the vet and he said that he didn’t think she had an infection but rather that her 3rd eyelid was the color red. He said that the 3rd eyelid can be white, black, or red. Her eyes seem to be getting more red, but I do not see any other symptoms (no pus, swelling, itching, etc..) I’m concerned though, as I haven’t seen any information on the internet that talks about a red 3rd eyelid, except when there is infection.

My dog has a red, small and almost unnoticeable dot in her left eye. However, I first saw this dot when I began to look at her face and noticed that she was squinting and not fully opened her eye. I then spray water in her eye just hoping it was a speck of dirt, the water temporarily "helped" her open her eye but after that it just went back to it's squinty state. A green eye booger substance does come out of her eye throughout the night, but it's off putting since it comes out of both eyes (however her right eye doesn't have any of the symptoms I've stated earlier apart from the eye booger substance). I previously took her to a vet in my area, and the vet provided a sort of cream for her eye, yet the red dot seemed to come back or not even heal at all.

I noticed my dog, Teddy, had a red colour in his right eye - it looked like there was fire inside the eye and there was no appearance of the pupil in that eye when I took a photo with the flash on. Usually both pupils reflect like two torches when I take a photo of him with the flash on. But this time the right eye appeared as black in the photo, while the left one was normal. The white part of this right eye was only slightly red.

I brought him to the vet. She prescribed Cosopt eye drops twice daily (for high pressure) although she had no way to measure the eye pressure - she prescribed the drops based on her observation that the eye was slightly bulging. She also prescribed oral antibiotics, one drop of atropine every 12 hours and two drops of maxitrol twice a day. After a week, his eye appeared to be doing a bit better. He had no redness at all in the white of the eye and very little in the eye itself. However, his lower eyelid was hanging down and loose and his third eye lid was starting to appear. This time the vet took him off the oral antibiotics and prescribed a steroid tablet twice a day for what she labelled the appearance of "Horner's syndrome", she took him off the atropine, but kept him on the Cosopt and Maxitrol eye drops.

In the last week, there has been a big deterioration in his eye. His eye has completely clouded over and is a grey-bluish colour. There appears to be an ulcer on his cornea and his eye is very swollen (about twice the size of the other eye). The vet took him off the steroid and now he is on an antibiotic cream eye drop three times daily and the Cosopt for eye pressure. The "Horner's syndrome" did disappear after the steroids, but in general, the eye is now worse. The white of his eye is now all red, his eye is totally clouded over and still very swollen. All of his bloods came back clear. I'm concerned. What could be going on?

The nearest veterinary opthamologist is about two hours away and it would not be possible to bring him there as I'd have no help and he over-heats a lot even on short car journeys (of about 5 minutes)

My Cockapoo Buddy had cataract surgery July 2015 at the age of 10 and it was a success. Please note Buddy is also Diabetic and on 4 units in the AM & 4 units in PM. He has been on Diclofenac Sodium Ophthalmic Solution 0.1% with one drop in each eye once every day. At night he receives a small amount GenTeal ointment in each eye before bed. Diclofenac was not longer available and he was switched to Ketorolac Tromethamine Eye Drops 0.5% one drop in each eye once a day or every 24 hours. That switch was made in September 2017 it is now March 2018. We have now noticed his right eye is cloudy and red when you lift the lid and his left eye is starting to get cloudy as well but not as much. It appears his eyes are bothering him as he rubs them each morning and he is squinting more often. When this happened in the past the dr. had me give him drops 2x day vs 1x day. Two things concern me, could the switch in medicine drops caused this as one is 0.1% and the new drops are 0.5%? Are the drops to strong or too weak?
Second, I am concerned that the cataracts have reappeared although I do not think that is possible from what they told me after surgery? I have researched and see other issues could be causing this. I was told Buddy would be on these drops for life in addition to the GenTeal each night. My Doctor is not longer with the hospital that performed the surgery and a new Dr is continuing to fill the scripts to my pharmacy. What are your thoughts here before I call them on what could be happening. My Vet and Vet for the eye surgery are different. Each visit to the Eye Dr. is $179.00 and this surgery has been a small fortune over the years. I have a call into the Dr. but have not received a call yet. I would like to be prepared with some information as it is always an upsell when I enter the office. It has become more about the money then the care for our pets. Thank you, Terry

My puppy is six months. It just popped up three days ago he doesn't have symptoms, only has one blood red on the whites of his eye. Is there a cheap method of getting it taken care of? We are a low income family. But he's doing just fine not rubbing his eye or anything. What can I do?
