The main symptoms of dog conjunctivitis include: conjunctival congestion, flushing, increased eye secretions, red and swollen eyeballs, tearing, photophobia, pain and other symptoms. In severe cases, symptoms such as yellowish-white pus oozing out and even blindness may occur, and the dog may scratch its eyes frequently. In response to this situation, we first need to put a protective cover on the dog to prevent the dog from scratching its eyes, and then send the dog to the pet hospital for examination in time.

Conjunctivitis in dogs can be specifically divided into acute conjunctivitis, chronic conjunctivitis, and purulent conjunctivitis.

1. Acute conjunctivitis

If the dog suffers from acute conjunctivitis, the main manifestation is conjunctival and fornix conjunctival congestion. If inflammation affects the bulbar conjunctiva, the inflammatory reaction will be strong. A small amount of serous, purulent or even pseudomembranous eye feces, conjunctival swelling, pain, and eyelid stenosis or atresia can be seen.

2. Chronic conjunctivitis

If your dog suffers from chronic conjunctivitis, papillae and follicles will form on the surface of the conjunctiva. Although the eyes are not obviously swollen, they lack luster, and sometimes blepharospasm may occur.

3. Purulent conjunctivitis

If it is purulent conjunctivitis, the dog's eyelid skin will usually have eczema and itching. If the disease lasts for a long time, it can also cause corneal turbidity. If your dog’s eyes are itchy, try not to let your dog scratch them to avoid causing infection.
