| Conjunctivitis? I took Ruthie to the er vet yesterday because she had an eye infection - wouldn't open her eye, swollen etc. The vet said it was conjunctivitis and gave me Tobrex eye drops to put in every 6 hours. I've been doing that - yesterday she only had drops put in twice, but I already noticed a difference - she was opening her eye more and you could tell she was feeling better. This morning, she's her usual playful self, full of energy - eye is open - but her eye is cloudy. Is this just a part of the infection or from the eye drops or something? As far as I can tell, she can still see out of it, but I'm worried about permanent damage... today is a holiday and our vet is closed. Has anyone had any experience with conjunctivitis and a cloudy eye?

| Her eye could be cloudy from the drops mixing with any dried "crud" that was on her eye. Maybe try to flush the eye with some warm water and see if that helps? I would definitely ask the vet about it tomorrow.

| I would ask the vet about it. Chachi had an eye infection once but his eye did not get cloudy. He did have alot of seepage though.

Donating YT 30K Club Member | My Pom has had several eye infections and has the same drops. Her eye can look cloudy but it's usually from the goopy film and will wash away. The drops should work quickly! Hope she's better soon!
