My dog has red eyes and licks paws. Is it separation anxiety?

my dog appears to have conjuctivitis and as i live in a remote indigenous community i am unable to attend a vet. he also keeps licking the pads of his front paws and they get very red and inflamed. could this be separation anxiety and what can i put on them? please.

It's not separation anxiety. It sounds as Louie is suffering from an eye infection, it is relatively common in dogs. you will need to take him to the vet the first chance you get, the vet will check the eyes, if it is indeed a simple eye infection your vet will prescribe an antibiotic eye drops that will probably solve the problem in no time. antibiotic eye drops are prescription only, there is no way around getting to the vet in order to get them.
