It looks like corneal ulcer. Your puppy really need to be seen by a vet as soon as possible to confirm the diagnosis and start treatment for him. Untreated corneal ulcers are very dangerous and painful to dogs. Your Tyson will need at least a course of pain killers and antibiotics eye drops once the diagnosis has been confirmed. Untreated corneal ulcer will eventually lead to loss of vision in the eye.

    Hi, and thanks for your question. That is likely to be due to a severe conjunctivitis, probably secondary to a trauma or infection. An immediate check up would be needed as appropriate treatment would include antibiotics and anti-inflammatory eye drops. Corneal injuries must be ruled out as well. Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.

    Poor pup! It sounds like she may have a severe eye infection, or may have injured her eye somehow. She needs to be examined by a vet to determine what's wrong, and will likely also need prescription eye drops or ointment to treat the problem depending on what is found. I would recommend taking her to an emergency vet today if possible, as eye problems like this can easily cause permanent damage or even vision loss without prompt treatment.

    Teddy could have a case of conjunctivitis, irritation to his corneas, or other types of infections. Teddy needs to get checked out by his veterinarian because if the eye has an infection he needs antibiotics. Hopefully it is just a case of conjunctivitis and those are usually pretty responsive to medications. Also with his age it could indicate a problem with the way that the eyelid developed. It could mean he need surgery to correct it or it may be something that gets better as he gets older.
