Why Is One of My Dog’s Eyes Tearing but Not the Other?
One eye tearing while the other stays clear often points to a foreign object or a diet issue. Check the eyelid for dust or an ingrown lash, and ease off rich food; if infection or illness is behind it, clean the eye and treat the underlying cause.
Why Are My Cat’s Tears Red?
Normal clear cat tears can oxidize in air to a rusty red—that is harmless. But red tears paired with swelling, mucus, or eyes glued shut signal conjunctivitis from bacterial or viral infection and need cleaning plus vet-recommended eye care.
What to Do When Your Cat’s Eyes Are Inflamed and Tearing
Red, tearing eyes are common in cats, usually from bacteria irritating the conjunctiva. The cause matters: simple conjunctivitis often settles in a few days, while viral infections like calicivirus or herpes need targeted care. Match the treatment to the underlying cause.
Why Your Cat’s Eyes Are Inflamed and Tearing Up

Bumps Around Your Dog’s Eyes
Bumps near the eyes can come from mosquito bites, fungal or mite infection, poor nutrition, or low immunity. Most bug bites fade on their own, but recurring or worsening spots deserve a vet's opinion.
Why Won’t My Dog Open Its Eyes?
A dog that can't open its eyes often has red eyes with crusty discharge from 'heat,' a foreign object, infection, entropion, keratitis, or a corneal ulcer. Match the cause to the fix — saline rinse for debris, antibiotic drops for infection, and a vet for entropion or ulcers.
What to Do About a Dog’s Red Eye
