Gunky eye :(

Just a quick question, do dogs get conjunctivitis and if they do is it treated the same as in a child??

pretty much so Kat , Tilly has had a couple of instances and been given a Futhalmic gel by the vet , personally though if its the first time I would go to the vet first for checking out as eyes are very important

Thanks Dave, I seem to be at the vet every weekend lately But your right, eyes are important and I would never forgive myself if it was something bad.. It dosen't look bad at the moment just like day 1 conjunctivitis..

You could try bathing in luke warm salt water, a tip I learnt here and worked for us, well the weepy eyes cleared up Xx

Thanks Janey, I did that this morning as it was all dry and crusty and she couldn't open it properly.. After bathing it, it's open properly and normal now just a little red. It looks like it will build back up though..

Vets it is then, it will clear pretty quick ><

Yeah I'm thinking Vets too, it's for the best and I can get her to check her bite wound too while I'm there.. Getting ready to go soon so i will let you know what she says

Positive vibes sent over the seas

hugs for Steffi , keep us posted ><

Thanks, you guys are awesome

Get well soon Steffi. Eyes should always get treated.

Thank god we went to the vet, some of you may remember a couple of weeks ago Steffi had a stye on her eyelid... Well it looked like it was healing, on the outside, but it wasn't healed inside.. It had grown and was leaking pus into her eye She is now on anti biotics foe her eye which will also keep her other wound uninfected too.. Back to the vets Wednesday again

Any problems with the eyes and I would be straight to the vet too, you cant be too careful. Good job you got it looked at hope it heals soon >< ><
