I removed something from my dog's eye. Should I take him to the vet?

Monitor for redness or squinting and see your veterinarian if either develops or if Kobe is pawing or rubbing at his eyes. If the discharge changes color, this is also a reason to see your vet. Use a moist, soft cloth to clean Kobe's eyes as needed.

It may just be a stye or even an insect bite. As long as it isn't bothering him, I wouldn't be worried about it and just recommend monitoring it. A lot of times these go away on their own. However, if it is bothering him I would recommend placing an e-collar on him to prevent him from rubbing his face for now, then get him seen by your vet for medications to help it resolve. I hope that your puppy Kobe is able to get this resolved soon! Best of luck and take care.

Hello. If there is no squinting or discharge, then he is probably OK to just observe the eye tonight. You do not want to put anything in the eye. If the redness is worse in the morning, or there is any change to the cornea, then please see your vet in the morning. Of course, if Maps seems at all uncomfortable with the eye, or anything else concerns you tonight, please do not wait & have Maps looked at tonight.

Hello, yes you definitely need to take him to your vet to get it checked, it's most likely a corneal ulcer, this can happen due to an injury or eye infection, often it can get worse and even cause blindness in that eye, it needs to be treated with special eye drops

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Koda and for providing a picture, it's very helpful. It appears that she has an eye infection, and yes you should take her into the vet. Any eye problem needs to be checked out by a vet promptly as leaving it untreated can lead to vision loss. I would take her into the vet in the morning. I hope this helps!

I am sorry to hear this! His eye does look very irritated- and the area around his eye that has a 'cobblestone' appearance suggests that he has some chronic irritation. I would want to rule out a few things that cause these signs including stray eyelashes that are 'ingrown', eyelid abnormalities, allergies and mites. The good news is that most of these things can be treated successfully! I would bring him in and have a few eye tests done and have them closely examined with magnification (sometimes an ophthalmologist is recommended) and see what kind of treatment plan is needed. Until you can bring him in, over the counter lubricating eye drops may bring some short term relief. I hope this helps!

It could be Oscar has an eye infection, and the film you see if his third eyelid. That is a normal part of a dog's eye anatomy. I would take him into the vet in the morning to have his eye treated. Best of luck.
