A month ago my dog stopped eating and pawed its eyes; the eye turned gray-blue, then after shots improved, but on walks it has yellow pus discharge; at night it would not return to the crate.
A white film over the eyeball is mainly from corneal injury, glaucoma, or cataract; with pus it is likely corneal injury from trauma or foreign body. See a vet and use special eye drops.
My cat keeps one eye closed and the eye looks misaligned
The photo shows conjunctival edema and a visible third eyelid; the misalignment is the third eyelid. Eye drops may help; if no improvement in 3-5 days, an eye vet checks for corneal injury.
My cat came back after 3 days with abdominal breathing and a weeping eye
Abdominal breathing suggests chest/lung or fever issues; after being lost with these signs it may be a fall, chest disease (edema, fluid, injury), or infection (cat flu, mycoplasma, parvo, parasites). See a vet for full workup.

My dog’s eye had an ulcer, healed for a few days, then suddenly turned blue; after eye drops it turned red. Is redness a sign of improvement?

My cat keeps one eye shut with discharge and clear tear stains – what’s wrong?

After being hit, a dog that will not bear weight with swelling and redness may have a fracture, soft-tissue injury or dislocation. Get an X-ray; delaying leaves a limp.
Why are my cat’s eyes red and swollen?
From the photo, the eye bulges with a cloudy pupil, possibly corneal injury with inflammation; take the cat to a vet for eye exam and treatment. If a visit is inconvenient, use an Elizabethan collar to prevent scratching and neomycin sulfate drops.
Why Won’t My Cat Open Its Eyes?
A cat that won't open its eyes usually has eye inflammation from infection, internal heat gluing the lids, or an injury. Clean with saline and use antibacterial drops; if fever or coughing accompanies it, see a vet for a possible viral infection.
