My dog has red eye mucus. Does she need a vet visit right away?

Hello and thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. The cornea in the left eye looks very abnormal. I suspect this a corneal ulcer but it is hard to be sure without full clinical examination. The right eye does not look as bad but there is also abnormal looking cornea. Please, take Rey to your local vets taking all the necessary precautions against Covid-19. She should be seen by a vet right away.

Poor Coco. Mucous in the eye is a sign of an eye infection. You will need to take her into the vet first thing in the morning to have this treated. Any eye problem needs to be treated promptly because leaving it untreated can lead to vision loss. I hope this helps.

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, uveitis, conjunctivitis, dry eye (also known as KCS), among many other conditions. I recommend that you have her evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Further therapy would be based on the findings. Good luck and best wishes!

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. This can likely wait until tomorrow and not need an emergency visit. He is super handsome! Have a good day!

With eye problems I recommend a veterinarian to evaluate them. It could be something simple as an infection, allergies or dust or it can be more like a corneal ulcer. Depending on what is going on with Kulit's eye depends on the treatment. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This could be due to something like conjunctivitis for example. However, there are some other diseases that really need a very thorough evaluation of the eye to diagnose. I think that if he has not improved on the current therapy, it may be a good idea to check in with your veterinarian. If they are concerned based on their knowledge of his case, they could consider having you consult with a veterinary ophthalmologist. They would be able to perform a thorough evaluation and recommend accordingly. Good luck and have a great day!

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Bodie. Yes, I would have this checked out by a vet. There is a red spot in his eye, indicating blood, and you need to be sure there is no damage to the cornea itself. The vet can do this at an appointment. Please take him into one in the morning. I hope this helps!
