I’ve taken my dog to the vet for this before and they said it was due to allergies, so they prescribed medicine for her eye, she was better a couple days after. Is there a medicine I can pick up at my local pet smart, PetCo, etc.
Poor Baby! I would first start by trying benadryl and a cone collar to prevent her from rubbing it. See link below for benadryl dosing. Unfortunately, there aren't any great over the counter eye drops that will help to solve this. You can try artificial tears or even a eye lubricant like GenTeal eye ointment. You can find these at most human drug stores. If she isn't improving or ever starts to favor that eye, I would have your vet take a look at her. Your vet can make sure she doesn't have an ulcer on her eye and will be able to send her home with the proper eye drops to make her feel better. I hope this helps! https://www.petcoach.co/canigive/dog/benadryl

My dog's eye started weeping, she is wiping it with her arm. my other 2 dogs are smelling it. Do you think Vetricyn (not sure spelled right) eye drops that is sold at Petco would work or should I go to my vet?
Hello. It is always best to have your veterinarian examine any eye problem as soon as it is noticed. This can be an infection, irritation, or even the start of an autoimmune condition called Keratoconjunctivitis sicca. It may even be allergy driven. With the right treatment, the eyes can heal very quickly. The wrong or no treatment can let a simple problem blow up into a big one. So while I do use the Vetericyn ophthalmic products in certain conditions, if you have the means to have Sipsey actually examined, this would be the very best course of action. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

My dog seems to have something similar to human pink eye. Last night I cleaned her eyes a couple of times and this morning I noticed even more "gunk" around her eye. Her eye has been more red than the other and she has been winking quite a bit. Is i
Poor Fran! I'm sorry to hear that she's having a problem with her eye. Dogs can definitely get eye infections that are similar to pinkeye in humans, so it's very possible that this is the problem. It's also possible that she may have a corneal scratch or ulcer causing these symptoms. You will only be able to get a basic eye flush at Petco, which unfortunately will not do anything to treat the problem - she will need prescription antibiotic drops from your vet to get rid of the infection, so I would recommend taking her in for an exam today if you can. Your veterinarian can examine the eye and use a special stain if needed to help diagnose the problem, and will get her started on appropriate medication to treat it depending on what is found.

Can ur clinics help witb eye issues? My little dog Luna eyes r watery n she keeps scratching her eyelids. Her hair was finally coming back n then she started strachting again. I think she might need an antibiotic or prescribed cream for her eyes. She
Vetco vaccine clinics in Petco stores are unfortunately not equipped to deal with any health problems such as eye infections or scratches. They are only set up for preventative health care which means vaccines, heartworm tests, deworming, microchips. I would recommend taking Luna to a full service veterinarian for this issue.

My dog has itchy eyes and scratches them a lot. We have taken her to a vet. She has been on an antibiotic and on steroids and has had a cone around her head to keep from scratching. We did blood work and we figured out what ingredients she can't have
Good Evening...thank you for using Boop by Petco! It must to be hard watching Marcie be so uncomfortable and cones are the WORST!! :-) If Marcie indeed has allergies, which it sounds like she may, you may want to discuss 2 prescription only products with your veterinarian - Apoquel and Cytopoint. Both have been revolutionary in the treatment of certain types of canine allergies. It is also important to be sure the infection around her eyes is clear so a longer course of antibiotics may be necessary. Food trials can also take 4-8 weeks to know whether or not they are helpful, so stick with it! You can use the 2 products above while going through a food trial. Here are a couple different articles about itching and allergies in pets: http://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&S=0&C=0&A=1565 http://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&S=0&C=0&A=2604 http://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&S=0&C=0&A=652 http://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&S=0&C=0&A=5
