My dog has eye discharge and stained fur. How can I treat this?

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Knuri. It could be he has an eye infection. Any eye problem needs to be checked out by a vet, as leaving it untreated can lead to vision loss. I would take him into a vet today to have his eye examined, diagnosed, and treated. Best of luck.

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. I highly recommend that you have Koko evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Further therapy would be based on the findings. She is so adorable! Good luck and best wishes!

Hi there! Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This can be a corneal ulcer or potentially KCS (dry eye). Have him evaluated by your veterinarian to check for these possibilities and start therapy if confirmed. Both of these conditions are very treatable. Good luck and have a nice day!

Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. If you are seeing green eye discharge in Chacha's eyes, this could indicate there is a problem such as dry eye, which should be diagnosed / treated by a veterinarian. There is specific treatment for dry eye that you will not find over the counter (Optimmune ointment or Tacrolimus ointment) which helps stimulate tear production. The over the counter products simply lubricate the eyes and do not last long enough. You can try an over the counter dry eye medication for dogs such as OPTIXCARE, which you can find online. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further. The sooner you have this looked at the better as dry eye can lead to eye trauma from the lack of lubrication from the tears.

If you just need to remove the eye discharge, you can put warm water on a cotton ball and gently wipe the inside corner of the eye. If the discharge quickly returns or you notice discharge in the eye as well, you can use any sterile saline eye wash made for humans. If the discharge is not resolving after a couple of day or is getting worse at any point, then I would have your veterinarian recheck the eye and determine if any medication is needed to resolve the problem. Good luck! I hope that was helpful. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. The discharge you are seeing may also be due to dry eye (keratoconjunctivitis sicca) and could also be an allergy. I would recommend having Tibo examined by a veterinarian so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. I would recommend having a Schirmer Tear Test done to rule out dry eye as a cause. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This could be due to an eye injury or conditions such as a corneal laceration and/or corneal ulcer. At least in these pictures, his cornea appears affected. I highly recommend that you have him evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Further therapy would be based on the findings. Good luck and best wishes!
