Common Questions and Answers about Dog eye infection green
infection
He has been having a yellowish green eye bugers coming out of his left eye. It is also pretty red. The eye bugers are more often than a normal eye. I am wondering what I should do. We think he might have allergies and on occasion we give him a benadril. He is a hunting dog so he is in the water often and in brush. I am unsure if the eye could be scratched or somthing is just caught in there. But i can not see anything by looking.
They now think it is an allergy problem yet she hasn’t been in any new environments .She has been treated with both steroid eye ointments and now steroid eye drops. Unfortunately the treatments don’t seem to be working and the discharge is now a green colour. She doesn’t seem to be affected in anyway, no squinting or rubbing of the eye.
Your dog hasn't been eating or drinking just today or longer?
The cat food may have upset his stomach. I would not worry about him not eating for a day but he does need fluids.
It is not unusual for dogs to vomit on occasion, however, it is not something to be ignored.
Has he been eating grass or plants? Some plants are poisonous.
Any chance he could have ingested anti-freeze? These scenarios would be considered a medical emergency and should warrant a trip to the Vet immediately.
I have seen other posted questions about discharge coming out of an eye when a person blows their nose. I too have had this same issue for a couple years, and doctors had always said that it was not a problem to worry about. However, several weeks ago I developed a bad sinus infection and along with it I started to have green/yellow discharge coming out of my right eye, which has since spread to both.
Thank you, do you think the eye symptoms could be connected to my nose symptoms? I woke up the same morning with the inside of nasal passages to be extremely sore, blotchy red, yellow crusty, and tender to the touch. Could that be bacterial too?
I was hoping to upload a photo so you could get a better idea.My dogs symptoms are brown sticky drainage from left eye that gets crusty. I was told by Vet to use overnight Dry Eye lubricant. The discharge has never been green or yellow so I don't think there is a secondary infection. Right eye is perfect. Dog is blinking from damaged eye. I'm thinking his condition is due to residual affects from his horner's and he has not completely returned to normal.
I have bag balm. I should have thought of that! Thanks for the help!
is not technically correct. It is green VISION, not eye turning green or green iris or external eye (sclera/conjunctiva) turning green. DEFINITION: Chromatopsia (i.e., “see color”) is an uncommon condition in which a patient experiences an increased perception of an environmental hue, leading to color-tinged vision.
Hi,
Your dog may well have dry eye along with Cushings disease. It may be necessary to add a wetting agent between cyclosporine doses.Alternatively your dog may have developed a corneal ulcer from dryness. If the opthalmologist is many days out recheck sooner with your doctor. If the dog is squinting or otherwise uncomfortable, do the same.if he is blind he may have another condition like glaucoma or uveitis (increased pressure or inflammation or both).
Again see your doc!
Have you seen the green stuff or just been told about it? When they took her to the doctor, what did the doctor say or do? She may have some eye drops they gave her. I'd say it is allergies or an eye infection (that is rarely serious). But they have sought medical attention for her---- so am guessing they are on top of it.
I am really worried the eye may need to be removed, so get that dog to a vet today. All that swelling from infection behind the eye can also cause meningitis which can be fatal, so there is no time to lose.
A similar incident happened to a neighbor's dog several years ago, and the eye had to be removed because the infection could have blinded the other eye by traveling along the optic nerve. The dog did just fine after surgery.
Ghilly has offered some good suggestions. I would also wonder about kidney diseaes, given the loss of weight and thirst. This could be discounted with blood tests at the vets. I assume they checked blood results for kidney failure?
In the short term, it seems it is important to get something nutritional in him. Personally, I would advise something like Green Tripe, which you can usually get in tinned or frozen form from a good pet store.
