But, if the dog is trying to keep one or both eyes closed or partly closed - this would indicate *pain* and could be a scratched cornea or something lodged in the eye - in which case you'd want to get to the vet ASAP, as it needs immediate attention.
But, once you're familiar w/ conjuctivitis - having an ointment on hand would be really great.  |
Are there supposed to be a row of eye lashes on the eye lids . i mean very small ones. I have never noticed any but the vet thought he noticed a row of fine lashes on the lower lid. I mean almost touching the eye ?
