My rabbit’s eye is swollen and losing fur around it—how to handle at home?

Brazilian turtle has had white-eye for almost two months, eyes won’t open, very swollen – what medicine? So sad.
Severe white-eye needs hospital care; if not possible, try at home: isolate, keep dry except for medicated baths - soak in 30 mg/L erythromycin or nitrofurazone for 30-50 min. Severe cases need systemic antibiotics like cefuroxime by injection, plus eye drainage.

My dog won’t eat, has a swollen belly, is weak and listless, sleeps all day, and has slightly red eyes – what’s wrong?

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 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.
