Dog has bloodshot eyes - Answered by Dr. Slome
Hi, I have always noticed that my two year old pointer had had slightly bloodshot eyes but only in the evenings and nights. The last two nights I have noticed that the whites of his eyes are very red. He has absolutley no discharge from his eyes and he isn't showing any signs of discomfort or temperment change. I was just wondering if dogs can get eye strain or if maybe his eye sight is going and I will have a blind dog in the future (don't get me wrong I would never give him up or put down because he may become blind...he would learn to adapt and so would we and I would love him as much as I do now). Thanks for any input on this...oh for a further note the vet said there is limited tests she can do for sight.

Hi
Does he feel feverish? It may be an underlying infection that has spread...to the blood. Please seek the advice of a vet as soon as possible. |

not likely
I don't think it is an infection that has spread at all, he has had it all his life and like I said there is no change in temperment of personality...I just wanted to know if maybe he has an eye condition

If it were me, wolfraven, I'd be making a vet appt for him as soon as possible. This could be something serious.
I hope your pup is okay! Please let us know what your vet says!

My 4 and 1/2 month old Bernese Mountain Dog has been getting bloodshot eyes for the last month. Mostly in the evening. My vet said to make sure I was giving her a large breed puppy food and to give her some calcium pills but this hasn't been helping. They don't seem to bother her but she is tiered a lot, but then she is growing too. My vet wasn't to concerned but I keep wondering if I should be.

DO NOT give your berner calcium pills. I'm not sure why your vet suggested that. Excess calcium can cause growth problems in large breed dogs. Where is your breeder? They should be available to ask some of these questions... |

Thank you for the advice. I was very hesitant about the calcium pills myself. Didn't seem to make much sense. I have heard of the eye lid problem but they look fine. Will I be able to tell if this is the cause?

Red eyes and discharge
My puppy Goat is about 7 months old and over the past number of days has had reddened eyes and fairly regular yellowish discharge (looks like sleep). He is a husky German Sheppard and lab mix breed if that's relevant. It seemed to happen the day after he had a play date with my friends puppy where they played with paws and love bites for a number of hours, sometimes going for the eyes (as dogs seem to enjoy doing). With the recent snowfall he has also been burrowing in the snow and sticking his head in the drifts. I was wondering if these are likely the cause of irritation and if eye drops might be an appropriate first step before seeing the vet. He seems as energetic as ever and no obstruction to his vision is evident.
Thanks in advance Darcy and Goat |
