| red/pink eye? Hi all, I hope that I can get some help from my YT fellows. For the past 24 hours, I noticed that Duke's right eye has a lot more discharge than his left eye. The white part of his eye looks a bit redder than usual. This lead the hair around his eye to stick together and he looks so sad. His right eye is also not opening as big as the left one. He's 17 months old and this has never happened before. I tried applying a warm towel to relieve any discomfort and cleaning the area around that eye last nite but didn't seem to help. He is schedule to start his obidience class tomorrow morning and I want it to calm down a bit since I wouldn't want him to not feel well and has to go to class. Any suggestion, home remedy or medication? Thanks,

| It is likely conjunctivitis/pink eye. He needs to see the vet as soon as possible. I would not take him around other dogs until the vet tells you it isn't contagious.

| I would suggest a visit to the vet too. Simon's eye did that once and it turned out he had scratched it and I had to apply drops. Better safe than sorry with the eyes. Good Luck~ |
