My dog's eyes are red and swollen after boarding. Is it serious?

Yes, a vet should look at this before you drop her off for boarding. She may have an eye infection and that needs quick treatment to prevent it from getting worse. Also, there would be some concern from the boarding facility if your pet came in with eye discharge that had not been checked. They have to make sure she does not have something contagious to the other dogs that will be boarding there. They may refuse to admit her to the facility without a veterinarian's okay.

Hi, I can see the yellowish discharge in the right eye. In cases of eyes I would always play it safe and recommend to have it checked by a vet properly stain the eye to ensure cornea is intact and no foreign body etc. Since the dog is active , drinking , eating etc and not scratching/rubbing or bothered by the eye it is not urgent but I would schedule an appointment with the vet when they are open after the new year. Monitor she is not scratching the eye as even one movement can scratch and self traumatize the eye, so if start bothering her and she is scratching take her to the vet sooner as she will need an E collar.

Without seeing your dog in person we cannot say for certain, but it is possible that this could be a subconjunctival hemorrage. It can be a result of hypertension (elevated blood pressure), trauma, coagulopathy (blood clotting disorder). Usually this goes away on its own eventually, but if he is acting uncomfortable then a vet visit it best. They can test your dog's blood pressure, and be sure there are no signs of a bleeding disorder, and give pain medication if needed to make him more comfortable.

Poor Macy! Without being able to see her eye, I can't say for sure what might be going on. But if she is acting painful and the eye is visibly red or bloody, I would be concerned that she may have injured it somehow in the crate. Eye problems should always be seen by a veterinarian as soon as possible, since there can sometimes be permanent damage or vision loss if treatment is delayed - so ideally, I would recommend taking her to an emergency clinic tonight to be seen. If this isn't possible, I would take her to see your regular vet first thing in the morning.

This is an emergency, your vet should see you right away, if he refuses you have to take him to another vet that will see him today. cloudiness of the eye is a very serious symptom, there are several eye condition that could cause that but it is important to start the treatment urgently, otherwise permanent eye damage could occur.

It's a little difficult to tell exactly what might be red and swollen in your picture. It looks like the redness and swelling may be around the eye as opposed to actual eye itself. If this is the case, an allergic reaction or eyelid infection would be two of the more common causes. If it is the white of his eye that looks swollen conjunctivitis, a corneal abrasion, or inflammation in the eye would all be possibilities. If the swelling worsens or if you notice swelling around the other eye or the muzzle I'd recommend seeing a veterinarian as soon as you can since this would increase the concern for an allergic reaction which should be treated promptly. Otherwise I think you're okay to wait to see your regular veterinarian if the swelling is still present in the morning, unless he seems painful or begins squinting.

It seems like a possible eye infection or allergic reaction (the other eye seems slightly affected too, unless it is always this way). you should take Krissy to your vet ASAP in order to get it checked and treated, it will probably require a course of antibiotic eye drops.
