Why are my dog's eyes crossed after pink eye, plus foaming and thirst?

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!

If the problem doesn't seem to be resolved, then I would consider continuing the medication and scheduling a follow up examination with your veterinarian. They may want to change the medication, or she just may need more time. Best of luck and I hope she improves soon. Thank you for using Pet Coach.

A sore, weepy eye may indicate infection or injury. The excessive thirst has several causes including diabetes, renal disease, liver disease, endocrine disorders, fever or infection. Ideally, an exam with your veterinarian would be recommended. The eye can be examined to diagnose any cause and blood and urine samples can be submitted to assess major organ function. These may lead to a definitive diagnosis after which the appropriate treatment can be administered. Place an e-collar (cone) on her to prevent pawing or rubbing at the eye until she sees the doctor.

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. Since Toby has not improved on his medications, I highly recommend that you have Toby reevaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They can attempt a different course of therapy or possibly refer you to an eye specialist. Further therapy would be based on the findings. Good luck and best wishes!

I'm sorry to hear that Phoebe has had so many eye issues lately! Cloudiness to the eye is most commonly caused by corneal ulcers (scratches or abrasions on the surface of the eye), insufficient tear production, cataracts (if the lens within the eye is cloudy), among other issues. Green mucus does indicate that infection may be present, but this infection could be secondary to a corneal ulcer or other issue. Squinting is a sign of eye pain in dogs, so it does sound as though Phoebe is quite painful. Her sudden lethargy and loss of appetite could be related to eye pain, or could be another problem altogether. Conjunctivitis is inflammation of the conjunctiva, or the pinkish tissues surrounding the eye, and is not necessarily an actual diagnosis, but rather is a sign of other conditions. At this point, since Phoebe's eye is becoming more clouded with even more discharge despite the medication, the best thing you can do is take Phoebe back to the vet for a recheck. If your vet is closed today, I would recommend going to an emergency vet for more urgent evaluation since eye problems can progress rapidly. In all likelihood, Phoebe needs to have a full eye exam, as well as some diagnostic tests including a fluorescein stain of her eye (to check for ulcers/scratches on the cornea), Schirmer tear test (to check tear production), and possibly have her eye pressures tested. I hope this helps and that Phoebe is on the mend soon!

Bleu has such pretty eyes!! I would recommend a recheck with your vet now that some of the swelling and redness has resolved. There may be something additional going on that needs to be addressed, or perhaps she needs to receive a different type of eye drops. Be sure and ask your veterinarian to take a close look at Bleu’s eyelids-sometimes, especially in young growing dogs, the lower (and occasionally upper) eyelid can roll onwards and irritate the surface of the eye-This is called entropion and can require surgery to correct. I hope you are able to get Bleu’s eye redness resolved soon!

I don’t see any depigmentation that would be suggestive of vitiligo in your picture. I do see a red third eyelid, which could be a sign of pinkeye (infectious conjunctivitis) or a number of other eye diseases. It’s impossible to determine a diagnosis based on a picture alone, so I’d recommend making an appointment to see your veterinarian.
