My Boston Terrier's eye is bleeding from corneal dystrophy. What helps?

Hello, Unfortunately, there are no over the counter drops that would benefit Stacks. I would apply an E-collar to prevent him from scratching at the eye and monitor the eye for changes in size, discoloration or discharge. If you notice any of the aforementioned symptoms, I would advise you to get him to a veterinarian as soon as possible.

Hello and thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. The red 'web' in the eye are blood vessels that are growing into the injured cornea (which is the red dot in the left eye) . I cannot really see the blood vessels in the right eye but the cornea looks bluish and cloudy. The most likely reason for these changes are corneal ulcers or wounds to the cornea. This diagnosis needs to be confirmed by your local vets, and then the treatment can be started. Your dog should have a course of antibiotics eye drops and possibly pain killers. All of these medications are prescription-only. I don't think there are any home remedies that can be used for Roshni, you need to take him to your local vets as soon as they are open again.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I can’t say for sure from the pictures but it looks like there may be a defect on her cornea. I would stop the medication and get her back to the vet in the morning so they can stain the eye to look for a new problem. If it’s not a problem with the cornea, they need to check tear production (even if her eye is watering) and check the pressure of the globe. The vet should be able to check all of this in the morning. Good luck and kisses to Sophie!

It's difficult to know without seeing the eyes, but there can be a few different possible causes. In Boston Terriers and other breeds with bulging eyes, they often get corneal cloudiness due to their inability to close their eyes properly. However, this is usually seen in the center of the eye and not the edges. A more likely cause of this is corneal dystrophy, which is an inherited condition that this breed can get. Below is a link to more information about this disorder. https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/corneal-dystrophy-in-dogs Lastly, it's possible that this is due to corneal lipidosis.

I hope that helps and all is well with Grace.

Hi, and thanks for your question. That is likely to be due to a mild to moderate conjunctivitis, probably secondary to an allergy or infection. A check up would be needed as appropriate treatment would include antibiotics and anti-inflammatory eye drops. Corneal injuries must be ruled out as well. Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further. If this answer was helpful please let us know, this will be used to improve our service!

I am so sorry to hear that Kaimana is experiencing these problems with her eye. Start by placing an e-collar or cone on Kaimana to prevent scratching or rubbing. If the eye is injured, inflamed or infected it is likely painful, this will prompt Her to scratch or rub her eye. However, this could inflict further damage, infection or even an ulceration. An rlceration is a tear in the top layer of the eye and is a serious condition. Because eye concerns with dogs, such as infections, corneal ulcerations, cataracts and glaucoma, can progress rapidly I would have her examined by your veterinarian to diagnose the issue immediately. The precise medication can then be dispensed by your veterinarian. Your vet will use a special tear stain drop to visualise the eye and the top layer to make are there are no ulcerations, and check for other conditions before prescribing medications. Please do not attempt to treat an eye infection at home with any over the counter medications, drops or ointments. This can lead to permanent damage and unnecessary pain or discomfort. I hope this answer was helpful and that Kaimana feels better soon. Warmest regards to you both!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This could be due to an eye injury or conditions such as a corneal laceration, corneal ulcer, conjunctivitis, dry eye (also known as KCS), among many other conditions. It is not safe to use human medications without knowing the exact medical condition as some treatments can actually worsen the patient's condition when used inadequately. I highly recommend that you have Hershey evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Further therapy would be based on the findings. Good luck and best wishes!
