Pet Eye Infections

Symptoms of Pet Eye Infections

Have you noticed your pet's eye looks a little concerning? Maybe it's something obvious like swelling, or something less suspicious like a watery eye. The first thing to consider is whether the eye problem is related to allergies, an infection, or an injury. When you aren't certain what is causing your pet's eye trouble, it's important to visit a veterinarian to get the proper treatment. For more information about pet eye infection symptoms in the Edmond OK area, contact the Danforth Animal Hospital to schedule an appointment today.

Pet Eye Infections Symptom Checker

Although it can be difficult for pet owners to determine what is going on with their pet's eyes, there are a few things to check for to determine whether the eye is infected. The most common symptoms of pet eye infections include:

  • Redness
  • Swelling of eyelids or around the eye
  • Pawing at the eye
  • Discharge from the eye
  • Watery eyes

Often, pet owners will notice one or many of these symptoms at the same time. Two or more symptoms often happen when an infection is bacterial. The pet's natural immune system will kick in and cause numerous side effects while the pet's body attempts to fight the infection. Often, allergies will have several of the same symptoms. Because some eye infections can cause permanent damage, it's important to seek veterinary care if you suspect your pet has an eye infection. Your vet has the knowledge and tools to examine the pet's eyes to determine whether an eye infection is causing the symptoms, or if an injury or allergies are to blame.
