bobcullen79 1,495 Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Sounds like a stick in the eye, not long happened to mine. I had a good look in there straight away and there was a bit of bark around the size of half a 5p. I got that out with a twisted up rizla and washed the eye out with bottled water. She was right as rain a few days later. What did the vet say? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Them little eye wash vials that you get in first aid kits are ideal. I've flushed shit out of the dogs eyes more than once with them. You can squirt it right behind the eye. Hope she makes a quick recovery. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skycat 6,173 Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Something may have got stuck right behind the eye ball itself, and impossible to see. If it doesn't improve soon I'd get the dog to the vet so they can squirt some anaesthetic drops in the eye and have a good look behind the eye ball. One of my dogs once got a grass seed stuck right behind the eyeball, and because it was so sore she wouldn't let me have a good look. The vet numbed the eye with drops and was able to see just a tiny bit of a grass seed under the lid. It was a big seed and had to come out very slowly and carefully indeed because it had already started to break down after only 24 hours. Never take chances with eyes.
