Did your dog scratch his eye and injure it? Not sure? Watch your dog momentarily and see if he’s scratching excessively at the eye, if he’s moping around, and if he’s refusing any type of special food. Any of these behaviors could reveal an eye injury and even pain from the injury. If this sounds like your dog, call your vet right away to schedule an exam. You may also want to try looking at your dog’s eye to en sure there’s no debris there. If approved by the vet, try flushing the dog’s eye with lukewarm water or brand name dog eye solution. If this works let your vet know and cancel your trip into the office. If it doesn’t work, call the vet and explain how it didn’t work and then immediately be prepared to take your dog into the office. Eye injuries need treatment right away. Call your veterinary clinic Chico, CA to learn more.
