Why are my dog’s eyes red and swollen with yellow pus-like discharge?
Likely conjunctivitis or keratitis from bacterial or viral infection — see a vet. If only red and swollen with no other signs, it's usually bacterial (injury, irritant, ingrown lash); antibiotic drops and orals cure it. With cough, low appetite, lethargy, suspect respiratory infection or distemper — get care now.
Why are my Labrador’s eyes red?
Red eyes in a Labrador can come from irritants (dust, sand, hair) — flush with saline or eye wash. Ingrown eyelashes also cause redness and need trimming or surgery. Redness with tearing, lethargy, or discharge may mean conjunctivitis, keratitis, or iritis — see a vet.
Why Are Your Dog’s Eyes Red and Swollen?
Dogs are nearsighted and see few colors, but their eyes still reveal a lot about their health. Red, swollen eyes can come from something simple like a speck of dust or shampoo, an allergy to food or the environment, or infection by bacteria, fungus, or parasites after a scratch or fight. Built-in problems also play a role: eyelid malformation (entropion or ectropion) and misdirected lashes rub the eye and cause chronic irritation. Because redness can also signal illness such as a cold or distemper, a vet check is wise when signs persist.
Why Are Your Cat’s Eyes Red?
Red eyes in cats have many causes, including injury, foreign objects, ingrown lashes, keratitis, corneal damage, and new corneal blood vessels, each needing different care. If you see redness, check for debris and rinse with saline, then use a pet eye drop; if redness comes with other signs, see a vet. Conjunctival congestion from conjunctivitis or corneal injury eases with decongestants, while deeper ciliary congestion from severe corneal damage, uveitis, glaucoma, or tumors needs diagnosis. Viral colds with eye redness also bring sneezing and discharge.
What medicine should I use for my cat’s red, swollen, inflamed eyes?

Why are my dog’s eyes swollen, red, and unable to open?
Swollen, red eyes that won't open can result from eye infection, allergies, trauma, or other eye conditions, so a vet visit to confirm the cause is recommended. If a clinic isn't immediately accessible, clean the eye with a damp towel and apply a pet-specific antibacterial eye drop or erythromycin ointment while monitoring for improvement. If there's no relief, stop the medication and see a vet promptly.

What medicine should I use for a cat with red, swollen, tearing eyes that won’t open?
Red, swollen, tearing eyes that won't open in a cat are usually from inflammation or allergy. See a vet first to confirm the cause — treatment differs. Allergies are treated with glucocorticoids; bacterial inflammation is treated with a pet-specific antibacterial anti-inflammatory eye drop.
What causes a dog’s eyes to turn red?
A dog's red eyes can come from diet-related 'heat,' a foreign object, ingrown eyelashes, allergy, or eye disease (conjunctivitis, keratitis). Rinse with saline, then use chloramphenicol drops; if unsure or not improving, see a vet.
