Dogs Eye Shut


Recommended Posts

Had a call of a keeper yesterday to go check and earth and terrier had a bit of stuck from the quarry before it bolted. When home dig got washed and jabbed etc but have gone down today and her eye is shut with gunk/puss around it. Any help what it may be or how could treat it??

Open it and use clean water in a little squirty bottle, make sure you get all the grit and shit from right under its eye lids, Just a tip for the future always wash there eyes out asap when they have been to ground will save that happening again.

Best to use a syringe minus the needle: fill with tepid water with just a pinch of salt and squirt gently along the inner lid of the eye, while holding the lid back. Work from the corner of the eye nearest the ear to allow crap to drain towards the tear ducts and out of the front corner of the eye. Do it several times and you'll probably see 'worms' of muddy stuff oozing out from behind the eye. Best to do it as soon as you get home, or even in the field if you can.

Fairy liquid bottle with water squeeze into the eye whilst opening the eyelids job done. Dobt squirt it as fast as you can obviously but make sure evrything is out after a few digs the dog will get used to it. Also good for giving them a drink after a dig too they dont take long getting used to that...
