My dog's eye popped out. Can a vet put it back in? Is it urgent?

I'm very concerned that Bruno's eye was coming out of its socket, and the red color could be due to the initial cause of the eye coming out or from you pushing it back in. This can be caused by trauma, a head injury, or a shallow eye socket. He has to see a vet immediately for this problem even though you have pushed the eye back in, which I would never recommend doing yourself again. This would have been very painful for him, and you may have accidentally done damage to the eye, socket, and tissue, which as I said could be the reason why the eye is so red now. This is not a procedure that is ever recommended for owners to do, expect in extreme circumstances such as being hours away from a vet, no water or saline available, you and the dog are stranded, etc. In addition, there is a chance he could lose his sight from this prolapse, and his vision needs to be evaluated right away. Please take him into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call f

I am so glad Buckshot came home. It is hard to tell what happened to him while he was away from home but that injury looks pretty serious and needs to be examined by a vet as soon as possible. He could have injured it a number of ways. The big concern, is if he was struck by a vehicle he may have further injuries that are not visible to you. An impact can cause serious internal injuries that may not cause immediate death or notable Illness to an untrained person but are serious nonetheless. Please, get Buckshot examined by a vet as soon as you can. Better safe than sorry. It’s too bad our dogs can’t tell us what they have been through. I hope everything is minor and he heals up quickly.

This looks like a swelling of Poppy's conjunctiva as opposed to the eye itself. It could be due to an allergic reaction or infection such as conjunctivitis. She will need eye drops and antinflammatories to settle this down so go to your vet as soon as you can. In the mean time pressing a cooled tea bag on the outside of the eye can provide some relief.

Oh no, poor Bella! Unfortunately this can happen in certain breeds of dogs that have a shorter than normal muzzle. You need to get her into a vet right away for this. Any problem with the eye should be considered an emergency, as leaving it untreated can lead to vision loss. Her eye can be saved if you act quickly and get her into a vet now. Please take her into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website.

This looks like a protrusion of the third eyelid (cherry eye), in some cases when it is mild it can be treated with special eye drops that your vet can prescribe but in most cases it requires surgical repair.

It seems the third eyelid gland has popped out. you can't do anything at home but you need to take her to your vet to get it checked, a foreign body in the eye can sometimes cause this. in other cases it is spontaneous and will require either medical or surgical treatment.

Poor pup! If he's keeping the eye closed or if the [eye is red](https://www.petcoach.co/article/why-are-my-dogs-eyes-red) and there's discharge coming from it, it's likely that he either has an [eye infection](https://www.petcoach.co/dog/condition/conjunctivitis/) or an injury of some kind to the eye, such as a corneal scratch or ulcer. I would recommend having him examined by a vet or [veterinary ophthalmologist](https://www.acvo.org/) as soon as you can, since he will may prescription eye drops to treat the problem. Eyes are delicate, so the sooner he gets an exam and proper medication, the better - some problems can cause permanent damage or vision loss if they aren't treated promptly.

The third eyelid is out. The third eyelid is a normal part of the anatomy of a dog's eye, but it should not be out when the eye is open. That tells me something is wrong with his eye. Any eye problem needs to be checked out by a vet promptly, as leaving it untreated can lead to vision loss. Please take him into a vet now.

At best, you can use a warm washcloth to keep the eye clear of discharge and place an e-collar on him to prevent pawing or rubbing. There are no OTC medications you can use and treatment would not be recommended without a diagnosis. If you can't get in to see your veterinarian, consider a visit to the local veterinary ER. It may cost more, but potential eye infections or injuries should be diagnosed and treated as soon as possible.

Poor guy! That does look painful. Get him in to an emergency hospital if at all possible, and if there is not one near you, call your vet's office for advise on how to receive care after hours. A few things could be going on--he may have an abscess of a tooth root, he may have an abscess behind his eye (retrobulbar abscess), he may have an injury to the eye itself, or glaucoma (increased pressure inside of the actual eyeball), or he may have been bitten or stung by an insect or other pest. You can try to put a cool cloth on it, as that may feel good once its on there (although he won't want you to put it there to start with.). Put an E-collar (cone of shame) on him so that he cannot rub at the eye or rub his face on the ground. If you happen to have some antibiotic EYE drops or EYE ointment at home (WITH NO STEROID included in it), you can put some of that into the eye while you are waiting to get him in to see a vet. Please do not give him any over the counter pain medicat
