My dog got chlorine water and mold in eye. What are the symptoms?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 18 lbs

I was using an old water squirt gun around my dog and accidentally got some chlorine water in her eye. Little did I know the plastic toy had a tiny bit of mold in it! Will this hurt my dog's eye?! Help! What symptoms would show up if there was a problem? And how soon?

It may not hurt Kalli's eye but watch for redness, swelling, and excessive discharge. You may see symptoms within a few hours. If you do see these signs, have her seen by a vet right away. Best of luck.
