Illness or injury can strike at night, so every dog owner should keep a basic pet first-aid supply at home. This guide lists useful external, digestive and special-purpose medications to have ready.
What eye drops for a kitten with red swollen, tearing eyes?
Red swollen, tearing kitten eyes can come from fight injury, foreign bodies, bacteria, or viruses. Check for trauma/debris, clean the eyes, and use pet anti-inflammatory drops; if no relief, see a vet. An unvaccinated kitten may have cat flu needing professional care.
What medication treats a dog’s red eyes with pus-like discharge?

My cat got ringworm on its ear and scratched it until it bled; a few hours later it swelled below the ear and above the eye.

Why are my cat’s eyes different sizes (one bigger than the other)?
Uneven eyes can come from genetics, irritants, injury, conjunctivitis, or herpesvirus. Injury or pain keeps the eye from opening fully; irritants or herpes cause the same. Rinse with saline and use anti-inflammatory drops; if no improvement, see a vet.

What to do if a cat cannot open its eyes?
