Are my cat’s eyes normal after bringing it home from the pet store?
A small amount of discharge at the eye corners is normal and usually related to diet—oily cat food can easily cause internal heat. If there is frequent, heavy eye discharge, clean it daily and switch to light, easily digestible food with more water. If you notice tearing, increased discharge, red eyes, or sneezing, see a vet.
One of my dog’s eyes is bulging out, but the other eye isn’t – what’s going on?
From your photo, the dog's eye shows inflammation and swelling of the upper eyelid, which may be eye-membrane injury caused by inflammation, foreign-body irritation, or an allergic reaction - for instance, when the eye itches or feels like something is in it, the dog scratches with its paw and over-stimulates the area, causing eyelid swelling; this can also be triggered by an allergy to certain medications. If you cannot get to a hospital right away, first rinse the dog's eye at home with saline to wash out residual medication and inflammatory discharge, then use neomycin sulfate eye drops (such as Langdoqing) plus chlortetracycline or erythromycin ointment applied around the eye, three times a day. Monitor the dog's condition; if there is no improvement, take it to the vet promptly. Or do the simple care first, then take the dog to a veterinary hospital when you can to determine the exact degree of eye damage.
What color are a Samoyed’s eyes?
Samoyed eyes are usually black or dark brown, almond-shaped, clear and transparent with no haze. When choosing one, check eye color and shape; if not black/dark brown or not almond-shaped, it is likely not purebred. Also watch for much discharge, which may signal illness.
Why can’t dogs be inbred?
Inbreeding easily causes genetic defects and hereditary disease in offspring because closely related dogs have similar genomes; puppies may have congenital deformities, deafness, 'glass eyes,' unstable genes, weak immunity, illness, and shorter lives. For the offspring's health, avoid inbreeding.
It’s been nearly a month; the area around the eye is red and hasn’t improved with medication
Redness around a dog's eye can be from eye disease, mite infection, or allergies. For example, if the dog rubs its eye and injures it, causing redness and inflammation, generally antibiotic eye drops are used after cleaning with saline. If redness persists, it may be parasites or food or dust allergies; improve diet and environment and see a vet.
What to Do When a Guinea Pig Is Injured from a Fall
Guinea pigs are clumsy and fear heights, so falls happen — check the slim limbs first. No wound and just shock? Rest and electrolytes. Small cuts? Clean and supplement. Serious face or limb fractures, or possible internal injury? See a vet.
Two days ago there was reddish eye discharge and slight hair loss at the corner of the eye; today there is a red patch on the nose that looks like a nosebleed, and there’s a puffing sound when held with what seems like sneezing
Based on the symptoms described, your hamster may have nasal mucosal damage or a respiratory tract infection. Reddish eye discharge and hair loss at the eye corners may be signs of eye infection or irritation, while the red area on the nose and nosebleed could be caused by nasal mucosal damage from excessive sneezing or other nasal-cavity problems. The puffing sound may be labored breathing from sneezing and nasal congestion due to respiratory irritation.
I have a cat and a dog; before I left the dog’s eyes were fine, but when I returned they were tearing and a bit swollen; not sure if the cat scratched it
Tearing and swelling likely mean conjunctivitis or keratitis, with light sensitivity, discharge, and redness; causes include foreign objects, entropion, a cat scratch, or rubbing. If appetite and spirits are normal, distemper is unlikely; use pet eye drops 4-6 times daily and a collar, or see a vet.
What is wrong with my cat’s eyes?
With limited info the exact issue can't be determined, but common signs are: tearing (irritation, blocked tear ducts, infection); redness/swelling (injury, conjunctivitis, keratitis); cloudiness (corneal ulcer, cataract); protruding eyes (hyperthyroidism, hypertension, glaucoma).
I just found a kitten, looks only 4 to 5 days old, eyes not yet open, sneezing often; found last night, passed a little stool, none today, only a little urine
Frequent sneezing in a just-found kitten is usually a cold or respiratory infection from chill or weak immunity. Since its eyes are not open, avoid hasty medication; feed kitten-specific goat milk formula every two hours by hand. A stray kitten that ate little having little excretion is normal, but such motherless kittens are hard to keep alive and need patient care; with many problems, take it to a vet.
