If your dog’s eyes are watery or he is blinking quickly then he could have a scratch on his eye or something stuck in his eye. The best way to handle this is to call your vet and seek guidance over the phone. Your vet may ask you to check your dog’s eye for debris. You can do this by using your thumb to lift the upper eyelid and check for any little pieces of dirt or paper, etc. Using your other hand, place your thumb on the lower eyelid and gently pull roll or massage down to check for debris. Anything that is obviously sticking out should be removed with a simple eye flush of water or vet approved eye solution. Don’t pull it out of the eye as it could cause more harm. If you can’t flush it out you will need to take your dog into the office to see your Hyattsville, MD vet. Visit this website Brentwood Animal Hospital for more details.
