What Happens When a Dog’s Eye Is Badly Damaged or Infected?

A badly damaged or infected eye causes pain and sensitivity, making the dog reluctant to let anyone approach or touch its eye.

An injured eye is vulnerable to infection by bacteria, viruses and other microbes, and without timely treatment it may lead to blindness.

The eye infection can also spread systemically and endanger the dog’s life.

Therefore, if you notice an eye injury or inflammation, take the dog to a pet hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.
