I adopted a 5 year old male Chihuahua from a shelter, I've had him for 10 days he has had 3 vet visits. He started getting small red boils around his stomach and the top of body, he was treated with a antibiotic and a steroid shot. The sores are healing but now his right eye is weepy and sagging with yellow discharge. He rubs it, yelps and keeps licking his feet and paws. None of these vets seem to know anything because he has no history. Any advice will be helpful.
When my dog had yellow discharge from her eyes recently we took her to the vet. She was very sick (with Lyme's disease) and I think the eye discharge is a symptom of a hard pressed immune system.
3 strikes with the same vet & they're history. You need to find a good vet.
I would ask people who have success with their vets.
Sounds like allergies or a relergic reaction to maybe one of the meds. The vet can give you eye drops for a dog. I had a St. Bernard with all those symptoms..he had allergies really bad. We were constantly giving him eye drops and allergy medicine. Hope it turns out well for you and your dog dont give up on him..ok?
Sounds like your dog is having allergic reaction to something he has come in contact with, the dog needs a complete check up by a vet blood count and x-rays too. Good luck, I love chihuahuas!
Our Cojack Bonnie's eyes are "weepy", this makes a matted goo in the fur under her eyes. I take a warm damp cloth and try to clean this goo off of her, but she will only stand for so much. Any ideas on the eyes would be helpful.
BTW she is an amazing baby girl. Ok, so she is 6 years old and soooooo smart, lovable, snuggley, loves to play, loves people and toys. Oh and she loves to eat, I have to watch her weight, she doesn't, lol. She is my baby girl.
Can I wipe my dog's eye with a Walgreens eyelid wipe? There is a dark moon under her right eye she gets every spring. Are pepper tree peppers?
My Boston Terrier just got a bunch of dirt blown into her (bulgy) eyes. Is it safe to use Systane gel drops for her?
My Jack Russell keeps getting stye-like spots on and around her eye lid. The vet has been giving her antibiotic tablets and cream for in her eye.
After the course has finished she goes about 2weeks then it seems to flare up again. Anyone else's dog had this?
I have a seven pound Poodle who is 17 years old. She is almost blind, does not hear much, and has kidney disease. She has a discharge from her eyes that cakes up underneath. How can I remove this stuff without any pain to her? She does not like the washclothe method!

I found with my wee dog, which had a very weepy eye for weeks that after gently pouring warm water over her eye to soften the gunk , then gently removing it all with a soft cloth , I then opened up her eye & added a few drops of human eye drops - I have found that this has helped her a lot & her eye weeping has settled down.
I need something for my dog's eyes. There is runny stuff like she has a cold or something. What can I do? I am disabled and can't afford a vet. Please help, I don't have photo.

At this time of year, it is probably allergies. My vet told me to buy a bottle of saline nasal spray at Walgreens or CVS, very inexpensive, about $4. Put your dogs name on it so you don't use it yourself by mistake.
My friend recently acquired pink eye and was prescribed Moxeza for it. We think the dog has it now, which is a weiner dog. We are wondering is it safe to use on her?

My Maltese left eye has become infected over the last 2 to 3 days. He's keeping it shut but opens more when excited about getting his treat. He seems to be sleeping more and shivering more than normal. What do you think?
Please can anyone help me? I have a 10yr old terrier mix and just lately her eyes have been watering quite frequently. She doesn't have any crust, nor are her eyes red. Occasionally she will lick her paws and rub her eyes with them, but other than that, she is absolutely normal. Sometimes I use a cotton wool pad, a clean one for each eye, and warm water to wipe away the tears because she looks like a panda! It doesn't happen all the time. Should I be worried and call the vet?

It sounds to me like your terrier has allergies. I have a little Japanese Chin mix who has watery eyes all the time.
I have a Maltese with a severe eye infection I am assuming as her left eye was totally closed yesterday afternoon. I took warm compresses to loosen gook around her eye. It was quite an effort to clean the area around her eye, but I finally removed enough hair and gook to see her eyeball.
Nonetheless I have NeoPolyBac Ophth ointment I used last night on the eye and according to directions it says not to use it more than every 12 hours. This morning I was able to see her eye, but over the day (even after her morning dose of drops) it seems to run and start gooing up again.
Her vet isn't in until Tuesday and I am hoping warm compresses are OK to apply to her eye throughout the day. She is cooperative yet I don't want to risk eye damage. Is it okay to keep applying warm compresses to the eye area throughout the day and will it effect the strength of the eye drops? Please advise.

Your dog may have something in her eye. Can you call the vet and get advice over the phone? If it looks really bad I'd take her to an emergency animal hospital or clinic. Hope the eye gets better.
The warm compresses shouldn't hurt the dog providing they are just warm, not hot, especially is there is swelling. They probably feel good to her.
