How to keep my miniature Aussie's eyes healthy and comfortable?

Speak to the breeder and have her checked out by your vet before bringing her home. The vet can advise you on what is causing the problem with her eye, and if it's something that can be fixed or cause life long problems. Any reasonable breeder will allow you to do this. If the breeder will not allow it, I would be very suspicious and recommend not getting this puppy. I hope this helps.

Moo is adorable, but his eyes certainly seem uncomfortable given his squinting! Squinting is a sign of eye pain in dogs. Coupled with the yellow/green discharge, it is concerning that he may have an eye infection, corneal ulcer or uveitis (inflammation within the eyes). Allergies may be contributing, but the yellow/green discharge makes me suspicious that there is another issue present. If his eyes are itchy at all, make sure that Moo wears an e-collar (cone) until you can take him to the vet today or tomorrow to prevent further eye injury. I hope that all goes well!

Jax should have this examined by his veterinarian. The main conditions that come to mind are an eye infection, a wound on the cornea or allergies. Best to have him examined and the cause determined. I hope he starts feeling better quickly and please feel free to post any additional questions.

Many problems can cause red eyes. Allergies, uveitis, episcleritis, glaucoma, among others. The treatment depends on the underlying problem. I would highly encourage you to have him evaluated by your veterinarian to decide what therapy would be best. If it only happens at night you may want to take some pictures to share with your veterinarian. Best of luck and thank you for using Pet Coach.

It sounds like your pet has an eye infection and possible corneal ulcer or scratch. The only thing you can do is wipe the discharge that accumulates under the eye with a cool wet clean cloth to prevent irritation around the eye. Unfortunately there are no over the counter medications available for dogs so you will have to wait until your vet appt for Wuggie to start actual treatment for the eyes. If Wuggie is pawing or scratching at the eyes then an e-collar can be placed on her to prevent further self inflicted irritation.

Awww. Poor baby. She looks like they are painful. Their eyes stick out more than a lot of other breeds so they are very susceptible to eye injuries, scratches or even dryness. You could try artificial tears or some other straight saline eye drop. No medications unless prescribed by the veterinarian. Eye problems should be addressed quickly so if she doesn’t improve with just some saline flush or tears have her looked at. They will do a thorough eye exam and stain the eyes to look for any scratches

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Buttercup. It is difficult to say without seeing a picture, but a lot of small breed dogs will experience epiphora or clear tearing of the eyes. As along as it is clear, the eye is not red and the dog is not squinting, it is generally not an issue. However, if it is new and only one eye, you will want to have her evaluated by her veterinarian. She can have an eyelash contacting the surface of her eye causing irritation. I hope this information helps!
