eye infection untreated

i have no tear duct in my right eye and seem to get eye infections easily the outer corner of my left eye is so itchy and sore i have never had the outer eye itchy what could it be?

your kitty will loose the sight or even the whole eye if left untreated...I do hope you will find a way to get to a clinic for some treatment asap. or surrender the kitty to a local shelter where it will be taken care of....hard I know but this kitty really needs this eye to be treated and very soon... http://www.medhelp.org/health_pages/Pets/RESOURCES-TO-HELP-PAY-FOR-VET-CARE/show/535?

Hi Kate..Eye infections are common in dogs......Left untreated, they can cause serious damage to the eyes.....Ask your parents to make a Vet appointment for your dog.....Antibiotic eye drops are used to clear up the infection.....It's very easy treatment and not too expensive... In the mean time, take a warm, soft, wet wash cloth & gently wash the debris from your dogs eyes.....Good luck & let us know.....Eye infections clear up quickly once treatment has began...

Yesterday I picked my daughter up from nursery and noticed that she had an eye infection - red eye with watery discharge. Took her to the doctor where they diagnosed conjunctivitus and prescribed her an antibiotic eye ointment. My concern is that although I'm normally very good with hand hygiene I may still have managed to spread the chlamydia bacteria to her eye causing this infection. My doctor says it's unlikely.

I have read about implants under the eye or opening and correcting the fracture or even alter eye position by muscle surgery. I'm getting really depressed of this situation. If nothing else is possible is there a chance to align the eyes with surgery and get rid of strabismus even if the eyes are missplaced? The eye gets further down than the other and it also seems to move a bit to the side from top to bottom. If I look up all the way the picture get crossed.

I think having an infection of any kind could cause preterm labor if it goes untreated. Not 100% sure on that tho.

I agree with the above two ladies. If left untreated, the infection could lead to further complications.

High fever 5 days Jan 1998, Hair loss and heart palpitations April 1998, No symptoms til 2001, deep skin lesion appeared in forearm, deep and infected... was given penicillin for infection, next day developed rash on legs lowgrade fever and malaise, doc took me off PCN thinking allergy to (possible herx?) .. June 2003 developed lump in roof of mouth, ENT advised probably infected salivary gland (gummas?) Oct 2005, onset of Neurological Symptoms Fascisulations.

If the test was negative, and the infection had cleared on its own, could it have caused a urethral stricture due to the ejaculation problems that im having. 4. should i retest in case of a false negative due to performing the urine test in the afternoon as opposed to first urination of the morning? 5. how prominent are urethral strictures in mild untreated gonorrhea cases?

I experienced this a few years back and my Eye Drs were extremely concerned. Infection can set in and if left untreated you could lose your vision in that eye. I would suggest a prompt visit to your Dr. My best ......

Thank you very much for replying back. I really appreciate it.=) I'm gonna go and take a good look at the links you've provided. I have one question though. It's been 5 years since i had that "infection" and it never re-occured since then. Can i get the STD tests today without the infection? or do i need to wait and see if the infection comes back, then have the STD tests done? big thanks again..

He could have conjunctivitis (pink eye) and gone untreated it can cause blindness and a host of other problems. It could be allergy related also and that would mean he would need an antihistimine (like benedryl). He is obviously uncomfortable and it sounds like it is not going to go away until treated.

Cranberry juice wont cure an infection, if u drink it fluently it may help prevent an infection. But in no way shape or form will it cure one. The doctor that prescribed ypu the antibiotics wouldnt have prescribed it if it wasnt necessary or safe. There are plenty of antibiotics that are safe to use. Ypu can also call your local pharmacist and he or she can tell you whether it's safe or not.

Another term for sepsis is systemic infection. Untreated chlamydia can lead to an encephalopathy, a swelling of the brain. A review of the literature will tell you what happens to people with untreated syphilis, not pretty, and some unfortunate African Americans were used as guinea pigs by our government to find out just what happens.

You could have uveitis, which is very serious. You need to see an eye MD immediately. Too bad it's the weekend, but I would call opthamologist offices anyway, probably one is available on Saturday for emergencies. Untreated uveitis can damage your eyesight permanently and needs steroid treatment. It must be hard to diagnose, because I went through the same experience, wasting time and getting worse on antibiotic drops from my family doctor, until I was in agony.

Hiya im 33+4 and i felt like i had a urine infection yesterday but ive drunk loads of cranberry juice and feel fine this morning just wanted peoples opinion on whether i should still go the doctors or not thank you for ur replies in advance :) xx

The discharge from the eye could be caused by glaucoma or an eye infection, both of which can cause blindness if you let it go. Sorry, there is no magical cure that we can offer to spare you the expense of a vet.

Some sort of treatment is neccessary as it sounds like your cat has an eye infection. These infections (especially in kittens) left untreated usually cause blindness in the affected eye. But some sort of antibiotic is definitely in order.

Have you taken any medication or antibiotics for your underlying bacterial infection? Sometimes untreated infections can cause kidney and hormonal problems, such as increased cortisol or ACTH. Also, if your adrenal glands are working overtime due to stress or fighting an infection, it can result in adreanal fatigue, which basically means that your body is running on adrenaline, so when you are at rest, you get withdrawl symptoms and become very tired.

It does sound like an eye infection. They are incredibly common in kittens and can cause a lot of damage if left untreated. The good news is that they are easy to treat with oral antibiotics and, sometimes, a topical opthalmic (eye) ointment. The best advice that I could give you would be to ask about the price of medication(s) when you ask about the price of the visit.

Definitely sounds like a UTI! Go to the doctors because if it's untreated it could cause a kidney infection which could lead to preterm labor!

If any infection is left untreated that is when you can have issues.

Its not that dangerous unless you leave it untreated. I had kidney infection and i was in a hospital for a week.

I had a root canal done by an endodontist on tooth #14. A dead nerve was diagnosed w/ no infection present. One week later my face started swelling & left eye was red & tearing. An infection was found & I was put on Clindamyacin--that was very helpful with the swelling. After getting off the antibiotic my maxillary, headaches & eye pain have returned. My medical doctor ruled out migraines & sinus infection. Am I heading for a tooth extraction? What is next?

Hello there, I was hoping for some information on eye drops Chloramphenicol and how safe it is to use? I have been diagnosed with bacterial infection of the eyes (pink eye) but have left it untreated for a few weeks as I have a phobia of medicines. My question is am I damaging myself not taking the medicine? And how safe is the medicine because I have read the leaflet and the odds of developing something that starts ....aplastic.....

Itching, burning, really think white discharge are the most common. Any infection can be harmful if left untreated. See your D they will give you the property medication. Don't use vaginal treatments of any kind.
