My dog has green eye discharge. Should I see a vet or use drops?

If the eye is not too uncomfortable and the only abnormality is the green discharge she should be ok to wait until Saturday. However if she is in pain, pawing at the eye or squinting, best to have the eye checked over sooner rather than later.

Poor Tiger! Green, pus-like discharge in the corners of the eyes is most often a sign of an eye infection, especially when both eyes are affected - it could also be caused by some type of injury to the eye, such as a corneal scratch or ulcer. This will require prescription eye drops to treat, so I would recommend taking Tiger to the vet for an exam as soon as you are able to - he/she can do an ophthalmic exam to help determine the problem and get him started on appropriate medication to treat it.

Your puppy should see a veterinarian right away. It appears that she has an eye infection and without seeing it in person, it is impossible to evaluate the condition of the cornea or surface of the eye. It is always best to have eye problems diagnosed and treated within the first 24 hours of symptoms to make sure the problem does not progress. Your pup will at least require some prescription eye medication and possibly other mess depending on the severity of the problem.

The eye lids appear very red and with the history of the runny eye discharge with a sudden onset, there could be a scratch on the cornea or a foreign object trapped under the eye lid. An allergic reaction is also possible. Corneal scratches and foreign objects in the eye are uncomfortable and can get worse quickly. Chester needs to wear an elizabethan collar at all times and he should be examined today by the veterinarian for correct diagnosis and treatment. I hope this helps.

It sounds as Neah is suffering from an eye infection, it is relatively common in dogs. you will need to take her to the vet the first chance you get, the vet will check the eyes, if it is indeed a simple eye infection your vet will prescribe an antibiotic eye drops that will probably solve the problem in no time.

Poor Pippa! I definitely see the discharge in the inner corner of her eye, and a little bit of redness. You should definitely have her examined by a vet as soon as possible, because eye issues can turn into emergencies very quickly. The discharge can be due to conjunctivitis, a foreign body, or even a scratch in the cornea (this condition is dangerous as it can quickly progress and even cause a dog to lose their eye). In the meantime, you can get Pippa an E-collar (or "cone") to prevent her from scratching the eye and causing further damage and apply artificial tears to the eye two to three times per day. I hope this helps and that Pippa starts feeling better soon!

It's likely to be an eye infection although it could also be an eye injury or a foreign body in the eye. you need to take Tiger to the vet in order to get the eye checked first, then your vet can give you the treatment according to the diagnosis.
