My Dogs Eye Keeps Getting Gooped Shut. I’ve Had Many Dog In My Life And …

My dogs eye keeps getting gooped shut. I’ve had many dog in my life and never seen this, reminds my of pink eye in people but his eyes aren’t pink. I’m going to call the vet tomorrow I thought it was maybe allergies at first with the weather changing but now I’m thinking it’s something more…. Anybody have any ideas?

    Hello,
    I do think the vet visit is the best idea. Someone needs to look at the eye (get the eyelids to open just enough to allow a visualization of the cornea) to see if that is the source of the problem. You also need some pain meds and an ophthalmic antibiotic I think. Please go asap. Damage to the cornea can have serious consequences, including loss of vision, and they can get very bad very quickly.

Hi! So I Have A Dog And Cat, Both Vaccinated… Cat Stays Inside But Has Traveled …

Hi!

So I have a dog and cat, both vaccinated… cat stays inside but has traveled out to the porch and goes back inside…
Recently my neighbors have been walking their cat (not vaccinated) on a leash around the house…
Where I keep my dog on our side of the yard, my neighbors walk on our side, right outside my windows and on our porch… aside from it being invasive and annoying… I’m concerned about possibly my animals getting sick because of hers…. so my question is Can my animals get sick if their cat goes to the bathroom or something like that on our side of the yard, and say my dog eats it before I see it or something, or if it pees and he licks it on the grass? If it’s putting my animals at risk of getting sick or anything I’m going to say something about it. Thank you

    Hello,
    It is very unlikely, and probably impossible, that your animals could get sick if they are not directly interacting with them. I would still recommend that you keep your pets vaccinated and check for and treat intestinal parasites. Your vet can help with these.
