My dog's right eye won't open and he's crying. What should I do?

Oh no, poor Ogi! The thing is with eye problems is that they are considered an emergency. That's because the eye is such a delicate and important structure, and leaving them untreated can lead to vision loss. He really does need to see a vet as soon as possible, and typically there are vets on calls for emergencies over the weekend and for holidays. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website. I would take Ogi into a vet right away.

Poor Pepper. She may have injured her eye or could have an eye infection. Any eye problem needs to be checked out by a vet promptly, as leaving it untreated can lead to vision loss. I'd take her into a vet now.

I would take Scruff into a vet now. The eye is such a delicate and important structure that any problem with it should be considered an emergency. That's because leaving it untreated can lead to vision loss. It's clearly hurting him if he won't open his eye, so please have him see a vet right away. Best of luck.

Eye problems are always emergencies and always terribly painful. Peeko may have severe conjunctivitis, uveitis, a corneal ulcer or a severe eye disease such as glaucoma. Peeko needs to be examined by a vet ASAP, preferably today, as a longer wait may cause the eye condition to deteriorate and he should not suffer so much pain.

Lucas is so cute! His eye could have been injured playing with his sister, or he could be getting an eye infection. He will need to see a vet as soon as possible for this problem. Leaving any eye problem untreated can lead to vision loss, which is why it's important to get him seen. Call the vet first thing Monday to make an appointment. Best of luck.

This is a medical emergency, and Pirata needs to see a vet right away. He could have suffered a seizure that has left him completely blind, he could have progressive retinal atrophy, or he could have diabetes causing the blindness. He needs to see a vet now in order to have the best chance of having his sight restored. Please bring him into a vet now.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. If Money is not opening his eye or has any discharge or pain then he should see a veterinarian. If he has an ulcer or injury to the eye it needs to be treated ASAP to prevent worse injury or permanent damage.
