Not all “red-eye” cases in pet dogs indicate a critical illness. Although, it might make one concerned enough to schedule a veterinary visit just to make sure that it is not. One concern that typically starts with red eyes would be Glaucoma. It is an eye condition that causes pressure in the eye to increase, progresses rapidly, can cause extreme pain, and if left untreated could cause a loss in the animal’s vision.
A great majority of red-eye cases are just simple conjunctivitis issues, where infection and/or inflammation happens in the eye sacs. Usually, this happens because of an irritant from an airborne allergen, like perhaps smoke. Bacterial conjunctivitis can be transmitted between dogs.
The eyes are one of your pet’s primary sense organs. Any problem affecting your pet’s eyes should be brought to the attention of your veterinarian Burlington, ON at the soonest possible time.
