Oreo Eyes Are Blood Shot And He Has Eye Buggers Why ?

Poor Oreo! Bloodshot eyes and discharge (especially yellow or green discharge) or "eye boogers" are usually signs of an eye infection. Oreo will need prescription eye drops to treat the infection, so I would recommend taking him to the vet to have this checked as soon as you are able to. In the meantime, you can try rinsing his eyes with plain saline eye wash and using a warm washcloth to gently wipe away any discharge as often as needed. This will not treat the underlying problem, but may help to make Oreo a bit more comfortable until you are able to see the vet.

Hello and thank your for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. It is most likely eye infection or irritation. Please, clean the eyes with boiled warm water and cotton buds 3-4 times a day. You can apply soothing eye drops too (human drops will be fine). If after 24-48hrs there is no improvement, you should take Sadie to your local vets.
