He’s sick. He needs to see a vet. Eye problems can rapidly deteriorate, so you should call an all hours vet right now. If they think it’s serious enough to bring him in, they will tell you to. Otherwise, they will have you watch and wait. Be responsible and call a vet right now. It’s free and could save your dog’s vision and possibly even his life.
sounds like an infection or it might be cataracs, take doggie to vet ASAP
It could be an infection. My dog gets this from time to time. If your vet is open on Saturday call them, if not be sure to do it first thing Monday.
Well, since its white,it cant be, “yellow matter custard”, assuming its still alive. Re. John Lennon.(Sorry, I couldnt help it) See a vet.
Could be conjunctivitis, or an eye infection. Did your dog’s eye get injured or punctured in any way? Is it bloody or just a little irritated ? It could be something simple, to a clogged tear duct so a Vet can help you. They may prescribe Antibiotics in the form of eye drops or an eye gel or they may do a tear duct test. All fairly simple.
Sounds like either a scratch or a bacterial infection… or a severe irritation caused by something is the eye (such as a hair, dirt, piece of grass, etc. Could also be viral and “IF” it’s a nasty virus and is long term – you definitely need to get him to a vet! Eyes are just too precious. However, if it is short term & does not seem to be getting worse, then there are some things you can try. Is your dog rubbing, scratching the area? The cloudy white you mention could be a cataract (You didn’t say if it’s over the actual eyeball). Could also indicate blindness from injury or old age.
First rule, of course, do no harm… (doing nothing is often a bad thing – as usually quick action is called for).
Something that I keep on hand that has proved very valuable is “Colloidal Silver”. You can purchase it at health stores. It is not cheap but ‘can’ sometimes save you a vet bill which is great when money is a concern. You can put it directly into the eye (human, dogs, cats, etc.) with an eye dropper or eye cup (depending on your pets size and temperment). It contains just distilled water and 99.9% pure silver (which is a natural antibiotic). – held in suspension by a process of electrolosis. If the eye is very sensitive, it might sting a bit, but really no more than water would.
(You can now buy bandaids with the gauze pad treated with it to promote healing & reduce infection. It – Colloidal Silver – is also replacing Silver Nitrate that doctors used to use in newborn babies eyes to guard against infections causing blindness.) It can be sprayed or poured directly on open wounds.
You can use it multiple times per day without any adverse side effects. I eventually purchased a (very) small) Colloidal Silver Generator and a PPM tester. Now I make my own as it it very inexpensive to produce – literally pennies on the dollar.
I take it internally if I come in contact with cold, flu’s, etc. I have been supplying it to my family (including my elderly Mother) for about the last 6 years. I don’t think any of us have been sick since. I put a tiny bit in my Yorkie’s water dish to keep it fresh and to guard against parasites. I also put it into the wild bird’s water dish for the same reasons and to guard against West Nile Virus. You might have heard that people (before refrigeration) used to put silver coins into their fresh milk supplies to keep it from turning sour too quickly.
I think that most medications that you can put into an eye (e.g. small tubes of salve) – are prescriptions from either a doctor or a veterinarian. You could check with your local drug store tho’ as laws vary from state to state to province.
The Colloidal Silver is one of those “couldn’t hurt – might help” things. Of course it depends on how soon you catch it and what is actually wrong. Good luck with getting it to heal quickly.
