Why are my dog's eyes watery and squinting after a scratched cornea?

This could have been caused by a conjunctivitis possibly allergic or infective. Corneal injuries could be present as well. I would recommend a check up to confirm these clinical suspicion and treat appropriately. Anti-inflammatory or antibiotic eye drops may be needed.

The sensitivity to light is a sign of pain. I wiukd first be worried about an ulcer on the cornea. This can cause pain and a discharge and easy to test for. Glaucoma can have a big eye and a red eye, not usually squinting. An eye infection can also cause these issues along with a dry eye. Your vet can check the tear production and look for an ulcer as each one has medicine that can correct this

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. There is nothing you can do at home. He needs to be evaluated as soon as possible as this is likely serious and his eye health may be in jeopardy. I highly recommend that you have Tank evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Further therapy would be based on the findings. Good luck and best wishes!

If her cornea was scratched Kale would be squinting or acting like her eye is painful. After time the eye can appear red or have discharge present. I would guess that this didn’t injure her, but if you see the signs listed above you should see your vet.

I would recommend that Sampson get checked out by a vet. The symptoms you have described could be caused by allergies, infection, corneal ulcer or abrasion, among a few others. You can use an OTC saline eye wash to gently flush the eyes to try to remove any dirt or debris that can be causing irritation. Sampson should also wear an e-collar or cone to prevent damage to the cornea from rubbing and itching. But if the eyes don't look better in the morning he should definitely see a vet. Eyes can heal quickly, but they can also get much worse very quickly! I hope Sampson gets to feeling better soon!

Poor Issy! From your description, I would be most concerned that Issy has developed a corneal ulcer that caused her eye discharge and eye rubbing/scratching. The cloudy area on the eye could be the area of ulceration. At this point, the best thing you can do for Issy is to take her back to the vet for further evaluation because corneal ulcers can progress fairly rapidly. Be sure to keep her e-collar (cone/hood) on until her vet appointment to prevent her from rubbing or scratching the eye further. I hope that all goes well!
