My pug's eye is cloudy, tearing, and not opening. What should I do?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Pug | Male | unneutered | 12 lbs

Hello. My pug's eye changed opacity, doesnt want to fully open it, but can, and from time to time I see a tear drop. His eye sight is unimpaired, I did some tests with toys, treats, etc and he responds ok. He eats well, drinks water, wants to go out when I ask him to. I cant find any working vet because its Sunday, and tomorrow is highly unlikely that any vet will work due to 1. May celebrations. He is 3 years old and he is generally healthy. Please, help.

Oh no, poor Ogi! The thing is with eye problems is that they are considered an emergency. That's because the eye is such a delicate and important structure, and leaving them untreated can lead to vision loss. He really does need to see a vet as soon as possible, and typically there are vets on calls for emergencies over the weekend and for holidays. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website. I would take Ogi into a vet right away.
