.As you know, that crusty or mucus discharge your dog gets in her eyes after sleeping is normal. That discharge actually is from the eye's natural self-cleaning efforts.

Eye infections are fairly common in dogs, they can crop up on their own or when something lodges in the eye. They can also occur when the surface of the eye, called the cornea, gets scratched. A telltale sign of infection is the appearance of the discharge: It will often be thick, yellow, gray, or green. It may form a crust on the eyelids as well.

Dogs are also prone to seasonal allergies, and the only sign may be a sticky eye discharge. Unlike bacterial or viral infections, allergies usually result in clear discharge. Your pet may be scratching himself and have bloodshot eyes as well.
Keratoconjunctivitis sicca" is a fancy way of saying the eye is dry. “Kerato” refers to the cornea or clear covering of the eye that faces the outside world. “Conjunctivae” are the moist pink membranes of the eye socket. “itis” means inflammation and “sicca” means dry. KCS means inflamed, dry cornea and conjunctiva.
It occurs when there is a deficiency in the water portion of the tear film which normally accounts for 95% of the tear volume. Without the water, one is left with oil and mucus; hence, the gooey yellow eye discharge characteristic of this condition.

Basically, if your dog has been having a watery or discolored discharge from the eyes for 48 hours or more it's time to schedule an appointment with your vet.

Your vet may give you eye drops or an ointment to treat your dog's eyes.

Dog Green Eye Discharge

2016-10-07 05:36:47 · answer #2 · answered by ? 4 · 0 0

The treatment for glaucoma depends on its cause and severity. There are three goals:

Reduce the pressure within the eye
Reduce the amount of aqueous humor that is produced
Increase the drainage
There are specific medications used to try to accomplish these goals. Most of the therapies are used topically (e.g., ointment in the eye) but some are also given orally. Those given topically often have to be administered 3 or more times a day.

Medical treatment of glaucoma in dogs does not work as well as it does in people. In most cases the only long-term control of glaucoma is achieved through surgery. Various procedures including cyclocryotherapy (liquid nitrogen) can be used depending on the underlying cause of the glaucoma.

If neither medical or cyclocryotherapy treatments are effective, there are two options. If there is no pain, infection or neoplasia present, an intraocular prosthesis can be inserted. In this procedure the internal contents of the eye are removed and replaced with a silicone ball. There is generally a high rate of success with this procedure. If all other treatments have failed or the glaucoma is a result of neoplasia or intractable infection, the eye may need to be removed (enucleated).

In cases of secondary glaucoma, treatment of the underlying cause is also necessary. This may include antibiotics for bacterial infection, or surgery for the removal of a tumor.

Don't Delay

Glaucoma is an emergency! If your dog is showing ocular (eye) pain, a dilated pupil, a cloudy cornea and/or a bloodshot eye -- get your dog into a veterinary clinic immediately! Whether you want to believe it or not, it probably is an emergency.

Dog training are excellent and very helpful to build you a stronger relationship with your dog. Read more https://tinyurl.im/atnsx

After I started training my dog, he became very attached to me and loves to stay by side as long as he can. But just going to them won't help. You have to practice what they teach you outside of the class and you need to keep up with it at least every now and then after the class ends otherwise they'll just go back to previous habits. This course is a really good place to go for dog obedience classes. It get's your dog around other people and dogs to socialize while getting the training you need. As for electric collars, I would say to not get one. In my experience, they're only a negative effect on your dog. I mean of course you're going to need to correct your dog, but being positive and encouraging your dog works a lot faster and easier.

Every dog is different, so unless you have a german shepherd or a really smart dog, it might take a while to train her. You might get frustrated with her, but go easy. She's still a puppy and has a lot of energy. A backyard or somewhere to run will help her get rid of a lot of energy that might cause her to misbehave from boredom.

Probably not a difficult fix if you can make it to the vet. It could range from a variety of causes from bactera, virus, or just allergies. Tests and some microscopic exams of the discharge should give the opportunity to correctly diagnose the problem. If its not being caused by bacterial infection the terramycin may not be very effective for long peroids of time. Ask your vet if they can test for allergies or possibly prescribe some chlorpheniramine to see if that has any effect on the problem. Best of luck and hope your pup gets better :-)

Infection, infection, infection. Yes, you should be very worried. The dog needs to go to a vet right away. She could go blind in that eye if it is not taken care of. Dog soap would not be causing this for this long. Unless it was caustic and damaged the eye, but would still need vet care for that. Again, this is something a vet needs to see her for and SOON. So she doesn't go blind.

Years ago I had a dog that had a problem with its eye lid causing it to be irritated and getting infected. She had to have surgery on the eye lid and I still had to use drops in her eye every day for the rest of her life. It was well worth the effort to put her drops in. Sometimes we just end up with a pet that needs just that little extra.

Has he been to the vet? Is he taking oral antibiotics of an ointment in his eyes? How long are you using it and how often a day? Has the vet checked for an injury to his eye or problems with tear production? Ophthalmic ointments need to be applied at least 3 times a day and for at least 10 to 14 days, depending on what the problem is. If your vet hasn't taken a look, take him in right away or have him rechecked at least.
