Brachycephalic dogs, including pugs, bulldogs, French bulldogs, Stanford dogs, etc., have protruding eyeballs, so contusions and bites on the eyes are more likely to cause eyeball protrusion. However, most acute exophthalmos can be reduced surgically. If the prolapse lasts for a long time, the contents of the eye have been squeezed out, and the structure of the contents is severely damaged, surgical reduction cannot be performed and the only option is to remove the eyeball.

Tips:

When pet owners encounter such a problem, they must cover their eyeballs with a piece of moist, clean gauze, and do not let the dog catch it by itself. Then he was rushed to the hospital. First, rinse the affected eye with normal saline to remove blood clots and contaminants. Use a moist gauze piece to gently press the eyeball, and pull the upper and lower eyelids outward to return the eyeball to its normal position. In order to prevent the reset eyeball from protruding again, a few stitches can be used to sew the upper and lower eyelids at the outer canthus of the eye to narrow the eye fissure and fix the eyeball. Eye drops combined with antibiotics and corticosteroids are used locally in the affected eye to promote the resolution of inflammation, and combined with systemic antibiotics.
