What to Do If Your Dog Has Eye Worms?
Eye worms (Thelazia) cause corneal or conjunctival ulcers, discharge, redness, and tears, and can lead to perforation or blindness if untreated. Rinse the eye with saline, use a levamisole-based drop under vet guidance, then chloramphenicol to control inflammation. Also deworm internally and note it can spread to humans.
Why Are Your Turtle’s Eyes Swollen Shut?
Swollen, shut turtle eyes can come from trauma, infection, or poor water quality, and may progress to eye inflammation, cornea damage, and even death if ignored. Soak in penicillin or potassium permanganate, add vitamin A, and keep the habitat clean—especially around hibernation.
As soon as I got home, the middle of her eye was gray with a red, blood-clot-like patch. What happened to its eye?
A gray hamster eye may be corneal damage or keratitis; a blood-clot patch suggests retinal congestion from impact, fighting, or eye disease. Isolate and rest it, apply anti-inflammatory and corneal drops, use a small collar, and see a vet if no improvement.
Came home and found one dog eye bleeding, no cry, but won’t let me touch
A free-roaming dog with a bleeding eye likely has trauma causing congestion and bleeding, like head force, a car, or a foreign object in the eye. Check the eye and head for injury; if injured, clean with saline and apply antibacterial eye drops. Not allowing touch is normal from pain; take it to the vet at once, as severe eye or internal injury can be life-threatening.
Got a kitten from a friend after ~20 days; too small for vaccines/deworming; saw black bits above the eye thought dirty; later noticed abnormality; day 3 the eye area spread; what skin disease is this?
The photo shows hair loss, skin damage, more dander, and scabs above the eye and on the ear, likely a skin disease. Spread and dander rule out fights or injury. Suspected fungal infection; confirm with a skin scrape at the vet, which is not costly. Or first try a Wood's lamp for green fluorescence.
Why are a Pug’s eyes turning white?
White eyes in a Pug may be corneal injury, keratitis, cataracts, or lens disease. A vet slit-lamp exam is needed to diagnose and avoid vision loss; senior dogs need regular checks.
My dog has diarrhea with bloody water, and its eyes have some red blood vessels and discharge
Diarrhea with bloody water in dogs can be caused by acute hemorrhagic enteritis, parasite infection, foreign-body damage to the gut lining, or a viral infection. Red eyes with heavy discharge may simply be bacterial conjunctivitis, but could also relate to a systemic infection from gut inflammation. If the dog is unvaccinated, consider distemper or parvovirus and see a vet promptly. If a vet visit is impossible, symptomatic meds like pet amoxicillin-clavulanate, neomycin sulfate, or cefadroxil with bismuth carbonate for diarrhea, plus neomycin or hydrocortisone eye drops, may help.
The color around my cat’s eye corner looks abnormal.
A photo shows hair loss and darkened skin around one eye, likely parasites or fungus. Ringworm needs antifungals; demodex needs deworming plus eye care.
How can I tell if my dog has eyeworms (Thelazia)?
Infected dogs often scratch the eye, blink, tear up, show red conjunctiva, more discharge, and corneal ulcers. If the worm is on the eye surface, you may see a thin thread-like worm moving. Put on an E-collar to prevent corneal damage, then see a vet. Deworm regularly and keep things clean.
My kitten has large-scale hair loss; a small clinic said ringworm and gave cream, but now it won’t eat, lies in the bathroom, moves slowly, is listless with dull eyes—is it from licking the medicine?
Ringworm treatment uses antifungals (terbinafine, compound ketoconazole, itraconazole) that irritate gut and liver/kidneys; licking causes lethargy, vomiting, appetite loss. See a vet to reduce organ damage; use an E-collar during treatment.
