My dog’s eyes have been swollen for a long time; is it internal inflammation or does it need deworming? I gave dewormer and the eyes swelled up and got worse over the past week
Swelling after deworming likely means an allergic reaction to the medication, with itching, redness, and tearing; a vet can give an anti-allergy shot. Swelling can also come from parasites if deworming was ineffective.
Found a stray kitten a few days ago—eyes watering, thin, small, both eyes swollen; no vet in my small town
From the description and photo, the cat likely has conjunctivitis and conjunctival edema, with mild bacterial infection from constant tearing. Clean with pet eye wash, apply antibacterial drops, and use an Elizabethan collar to prevent scratching. Wipe discharge and keep dry during treatment.
My dog’s eyes turned white and there are white clumps in the fur; today the eye went white
White eyes usually mean keratitis or cataracts. From the info and photo, it is likely cataracts, a common age-related disease with cloudy eyes, blurry vision, gray or white pupils, pain, tearing, high pressure, even blindness. Get a vet check; cataracts need surgery like lens implant or phacoemulsification.

Occasional sneezing from dust, smell, or cold air is usually fine. But frequent sneezing with cough, runny nose, tearing, low spirits, poor appetite may mean respiratory infection, virus, rhinitis, sinusitis, or nasal tumor; see a vet for the cause.
My rescued adult dog has likely had pups; severe tear stains, red-yellow mouth, eye inflammation
Heavy tear stains come from genes, disease, or entropion. Teddy and Bichon have shallow tear ducts and less lid space, easily tearing; only cleaning, care, or surgery helps. Disease like dacryoadenitis, ear infection, eye inflammation, or entropion can also cause it. For eye inflammation, feed lightly, rinse with saline, and use eye drops.
How do I know my dog is sick?
A sick dog may show poor appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, fever, breathing trouble, cough, sneeze, red eyes, runny nose, tearing, weak legs, hair loss, sleepiness, irritability. Signs differ by disease; if unsure of the cause or treatment, consult a vet or take it in when abnormal signs appear.
Why does my cat have uneven eye sizes?
Uneven eyes can come from entropion, foreign-body irritation, herpesvirus, or eye inflammation. Check the lower lid for entropion; if it irritates the eye and causes tearing, get entropion surgery. If a foreign body is inside, flush it out and use anti-inflammatory drops. A green eye glow is normal, from a reflective layer.
What are the signs of a sick hamster?
A sick hamster usually shows low spirits, poor appetite, little movement, and messy fur, with other signs by disease. Gut parasites or bacteria bring soft stool, diarrhea, and wet fur around the anus; injury brings skin damage and limping; a cold brings fever, runny nose, tearing, and red eyes.
My dog’s left eye corner is always red with a red something and discharge
From the photo, the third eyelid is enlarged and inflamed, causing incomplete closure and heavy discharge that leads to conjunctivitis and infection, even uveitis or keratitis over time. Conservative care is anti-inflammatory eye drops and bland food, but relapse is likely; persistent redness and tearing suggest surgery for a cure.
