If the discharge increases or symptoms such as redness, pain, tearing, or itching around the eyes appear, it is recommended to take it to a veterinary hospital for a check-up.
My dog ran out on its own and got bitten by another dog, and now its leg is limping — what should I do?
A dog that has been bitten by another dog and is now limping may have suffered serious damage that could involve deep muscle tissue or bone, and should be taken to a veterinary hospital immediately for a full examination and X-rays to check for internal organ injury, fractures, and muscle damage. First, do not attempt to treat it at home on your own, as a dog's teeth are quite virulent and their bite force is strong; if the dog shakes its head while biting, it usually causes tearing and puncture wounds.
Red, swollen eyes with hair loss around them—how to treat ‘one-eye cold’ (chlamydia conjunctivitis)?
In parrots, tearing, redness, and periorbital hair loss commonly indicate 'one-eye cold' (single-eye respiratory disease) from chlamydia infection, spreading via respiratory secretions and causing conjunctivitis, sneezing, and coughing. Use anti-inflammatory antibacterial eye drops 3 to 5 times daily plus chlamydia medication in water; severe cases need doxycycline. Isolate and disinfect.
