My turtle’s eyes are swollen and white; I applied erythromycin ointment, it can open them, but half the inner eye is red membrane
For a turtle's white-eye disease, isolate and keep it dry (out of water except meds); medicated baths 30–40 min daily, plus chloramphenicol, ofloxacin, or erythromycin eye drops or ointment 3–5 times daily; if resistant, switch or add oral antibiotics.
My dog keeps rubbing its head on the floor, its eyes are red, and it is panting
Rubbing the head and panting may mean eye discomfort or illness; use an Elizabethan collar to stop floor-rubbing and prevent eye infection, check ears, eyes, and nose for foreign objects or parasites, and see a vet if the cause is unclear.
Why are my cat’s eyes turning red?
A cat's red eyes can come from irritation by foreign objects (dust, hair, shampoo), ingrown eyelashes, impact injury, or infection and inflammation such as keratitis or conjunctivitis, which needs prompt treatment.
Why are my cat’s eyes red?
Red eyes in a cat may indicate inflammation in the eye area; use antibacterial anti-inflammatory eye drops to relieve symptoms. Check for other abnormalities and remove any foreign objects with tweezers or rinse with eye drops. If redness doesn't improve, see a vet.
My kitten is about three months old. For the last three or four days it has stopped eating and drinking and is getting thinner, though it will eat a bit of cat treat paste. Its eyes are red with discharge, it’s drooling and sneezing.
Based on your description, your kitten has contracted some disease or infection. There are many causes for red eyes, increased discharge, drooling, sneezing, reduced appetite, and lethargy - common ones include feline rhinotracheitis caused by the herpes virus, calicivirus, mycoplasma, chlamydia, other pathogen-caused respiratory diseases, stomatitis, and feline infectious peritonitis. It is recommended to take the kitten to a veterinarian promptly for examination and diagnosis. The vet can determine the kitten's health through a physical exam, blood tests, and other necessary checks, and provide corresponding treatment. While waiting to see the vet, make sure the kitten stays warm, dry, and comfortable, provide clean drinking water and soft food, and clean its eyes and nose regularly.
Two months ago my cat’s right eye suddenly wouldn’t open and it wouldn’t let me touch it. A vet said it was the cornea and gave two bottles of drops. I used them a long time with no effect, stopped for a while, and it seemed worse – the eye is now cloudy. Another vet also said just keep using drops, but a few more times brought no change. I miss its two bright eyes; now only one is fine, which is heartbreaking. (The right eye has watered a lot since kittenhood – tears when it eats.)
Feline keratitis causes increased discharge, corneal cloudiness, and eye swelling. Common causes include bacterial or viral infection, trauma, and entropion. If the cornea stays cloudy and shows no improvement after prolonged medication, suspect that the infection has worsened into a corneal ulcer or corneal sequestrum, meaning the current medication may be ineffective. It is best to seek a specialized veterinary eye hospital for systematic treatment.
My hamster’s eye is inflamed and red around it. I cleaned it earlier with povidone-iodine and water, but it got worse. I just learned hamsters can’t have povidone-iodine on their eyes – what do I do? I just ordered eye drops and a dandelion ‘cooling’ herb online.
A hamster's inflamed eye can be treated with antibacterial eye drops. Eye inflammation typically causes redness, swelling, and tearing. If you notice these signs, gently wipe the eye with saline solution to clear away discharge, then purchase small-animal antibacterial eye drops from a veterinary clinic or pet supply store and apply them daily until the hamster recovers. You should also identify the underlying cause to prevent repeated flare-ups.
My cat has red itchy spots between ears and eyes that worsened with ointments—what is it?
Classic ringworm shows irregular bald patches, red or brown, very itchy, spreading. Your description does not match ringworm. With many medications used, the skin may be irritated by them, damaging follicles and barrier. See a vet to confirm the cause and treat specifically.
My cat’s eyes are red, tearing, and won’t open
Red, tearing, crusty, closed eyes usually mean irritant (dust, fur) or bacterial/viral eye disease. If no fever or appetite loss, rinse with saline, wipe crust, then apply neomycin sulfate drops 4-6 times daily, with a collar to stop rubbing. Feed light food; if no relief in days, see a vet.
A shepherd dog brought from Shandong; it was fine when it arrived at a factory with steel, bricks, and cement, but recently it has teary eyes, some redness, a runny nose, retching (dry cough?), and diarrhea. It doesn’t look well; please help.
Watery eyes, retching, and a runny nose suggest a respiratory infection. If unvaccinated, also consider distemper, adenovirus, coronavirus, or mycoplasma/chlamydia infection. Usually the dog carries a viral disease and, after the move and the stress of a new environment, its resistance drops and the virus flares up. Prompt vet testing is advised.
