My pug's eye is pink and foggy. Should I be worried and see a vet?

Oh no, poor Ogi! The thing is with eye problems is that they are considered an emergency. That's because the eye is such a delicate and important structure, and leaving them untreated can lead to vision loss. He really does need to see a vet as soon as possible, and typically there are vets on calls for emergencies over the weekend and for holidays. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website. I would take Ogi into a vet right away.

Hi there and thank you for using pet coach to address your concern. I would recommend having the I examined by a veterinarian so that further testing can be done to rule out possible causes. There could be trauma to the eye itself or an infection. In order to rule these out I would suggest having the vet take a look at the eye. For trauma to the surface of the eye, a simple stain test is performed to see if there is any retention of the stain on any area of the surface of the eye. It is likely that he will need an eye drop for treatment. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions or concerns.

If Niko is squinting the eye or if there is excessive discharge from the eye he needs to see a vet right away. If he is not squinting, then you can use this ophthalmic gel if you'd like. If it doesn't seem better in a few days then you can get him to the vet for an exam. ( )

Hello and thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. It looks like local skin infection. It is very close to the eye and there is a risk that Milly may injure the eye while trying to rub or scratch it once it gets bigger. Therefore, I would suggest to get her checked by your local vets. Milly will likely be prescribed an antiseptic skin ointment / cream and the bump will hopefully go away in the next few days.

These could be a signs of a corneal ulceration. I would recommend an immediate check up as Pugs are particularly predisposed to a type of ulcer called ''melting ulcer'', which is a particularly nasty type and could deteriorate very rapidly. Antibiotics eye drops may be needed. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.

From the photos, my main suspicion is that at some point, Frodo developed a corneal ulcer or abrasion that has resulted in inflammation on the surface of the eye, followed by chronic scarring changes, such as pigmentary keratitis. With a thorough eye exam, your vet will be able to determine if any active corneal ulcers are present, check Frodo's eye pressure and tear production to determine if any other issues are present. I hope that all goes well!

Poor Bruno! It’s time to take him to see the veterinarian. Any eye infection that lasts for longer than two days is unlikely to be cleared by the body’s immune system. Eye infections can be present for many reasons including dry eye, corneal scratch or bacterial infection. Other causes are also possible. Have Bruno examined today as eye infections can get severe. I hope he starts feeling better quickly and please feel free to post any additional questions.
