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’s left face is swollen and hard, with a scabbed wound behind the left ear, shaved fur, and the left eye cannot fully close.
Facial swelling can come from a bee sting, impact, oral inflammation, or allergy, each needing different care. A bee sting needs anti-inflammatory shots and ointment; a festering tooth root may need drainage or conservative treatment.
The eye rim is red, with hair loss and redness on the eye and ear.
Red eye rim is likely from scratching due to itch, possibly mites. Check the ears for ear mites and deworm; use an Elizabeth collar. If the cause is unclear and symptoms worsen, see a vet.
What happens if a chinchilla’s eye inflammation is left untreated?
Chinchilla eye inflammation may be bacterial or viral; if untreated it can lead to blindness and even systemic infection or death. See a vet for pet eye drops and antibiotics, and keep the environment dry and clean.
My 9.5-year-old dog has a film over its right eye, worse at 3/4 covered, and the left just starting; what should I do?
A whitening eye has many causes, including conjunctivitis, keratitis, and cataracts. Given the age, cataracts are likely; see a vet for an eye exam. Early cataracts use medicine; late ones need surgery.
My cat has tear stains and watery eyes.
Watery eyes have many causes, including irritants, blocked tear ducts, and eye infection. Clean the eye of debris and discharge. If it persists with no other signs, consider a blocked duct, eased by surgery or massage. Existing tear stains can only be reduced by regular cleaning.
My dog’s eye ulcer healed, then the whole eye turned blue, then red and won’t heal
The photo suggests keratitis and conjunctivitis from corneal damage. A vet eye exam is needed; do not use eye drops blindly as wrong ones can worsen the eye.
My kitten’s eyeball is severely swollen and bulging
Swelling and bulging of the eye is often caused by eye trauma or inflammation. Clean any wound and use anti-inflammatory medication; if an infection is the cause, seek prompt veterinary care.
What to do if a cat’s eye infection is severe?
Severe eye infection with cold-like signs often points to feline herpesvirus. Symptoms include sneezing, tearing, red swollen eyes, and discharge. Take the cat to a vet for diagnosis and treatment.
Dog eye had an ulcer, treated with anti-inflammatories and drops, healed, then two days later the whole eye turned blue; used ofloxacin and bFGF drops alternately, blue gone, but the black part is crystal-red; 10 days less red but not normal. What now?
Since the eye improved with medication, continue a while to see full recovery. Blue tint suggests corneal damage; the drops repair cornea. If not fully recovered, get an eye exam at a vet.
