Some people say a little blood is normal, if there is a lot of and eye boogers, is a symptom of illness. Dogs can also see at night with the lights off, because dogs are evolved from wolves, wolves are used to night activities. If you want to observe this, it's okay if your dog has red blood for a day or two and then recovers, but it's a problem if it occurs for a long period of time.
Second, because the dog's eyes common important disease
One, the eyeball prolapse
Normal eyeballs are set in the eye socket, the main structure of the eye socket for the bone, the purpose is to protect the eyeball. But in some conditions, the eyeball can run out of the socket, causing serious eye damage Why do you get this disease?
Because of genetics, some dogs with shallow eye sockets (e.g., Pekingese, Shih Tzu) often suffer from prolapsed eyeballs due to excitement. In addition, head trauma, dog bites, and fractures of the bones around the eye sockets for various reasons can also cause prolapsed eyeballs.
How do I get rid of it?
The eyeball is an organ that needs to be moistened at all times. If this occurs, in addition to immediate medical attention, if you can't get to a doctor right away, you should grasp the following principles
1. Adequate moistening and cleaning: Use clean water (boiled water, mineral water), or saline (contact lens rinse) to moisten the eyeballs and clean them, and to keep the eyeballs moist at all times.
2. Strictly prohibit the dog from scratching the eyeballs: when the eyeballs are prolapsed, the dog itself will be quite uncomfortable, and the reflex action is to use its feet to paw at the prolapsed eyeballs, resulting in secondary injuries.
3. Strictly prohibit pressure on the eyeball. When the eyeball is prolapsed, it is often accompanied by corneal ulcers or perforations, and if pressure is applied, it can cause fluid to leak out of the eyeball, resulting in irreversible damage to the eyeball.
Third, the dog dry eye disease
To say a case:
Friends of the dog's eyeballs around the eyeballs are covered with a small dry eye droppings, take a closer look, only to find that the surface of the eyeballs early because of the lack of tears wetting the pits. When I mentioned my question, I learned that some days ago because the dog's eyes grew a small tumor, to the hospital to open the knife, after a few months after the knife, but found that the eyes often become very afraid of the light, their own because of the busy, has not been brought to the physician to check. I volunteered to make an appointment to bring my eyes here for a checkup. After taking a tear test, I was diagnosed with dry eye. When I asked about the surgery, I realized that the third eyelid was removed because of the growth of the third eyelid, but the amount of tears secreted by the third eyelid accounted for about 40% of the total amount of tears. The third eyelid was removed, so the tear production was relatively insufficient, leading to dry eye syndrome.
Long-term tear deficiency results in a dry and inflamed cornea and conjunctiva Why do we get this disease? The role of tears in addition to wetting the cornea, the foreign body flushed away, it also has enzymes, antibodies to prevent the entry of pathogens, if the eye loses the tear infiltration and protection, the cornea is prone to thickening and uneven, and even ulcers or fibrosis, which can lead to blindness in serious cases. Prolonged bacterial infection of the eye can cause destruction and blockage of the tear ducts. Certain viral infections such as canine distemper can also lead to dry eye. Certain medications can also reduce tear production: Atropine, Phenazopyridine, Sulfadiazine.
Removal of the third eyelid can also predispose to dry eye because the third eyelid produces about 40% of the tears. Which breeds, ages and genders are particularly susceptible? Defects in the lacrimal glands are common in certain breeds of dogs: Peking and Pug, in addition to older animals being more prone to tear deficiency.
Fourth,
Self-diagnosis of small methods: the dog is prone to blinking, scratching the eyes with the forelimbs, the surface of the eye loses its luster, and the area around the eyes is covered with small and dry and hard eye droppings. In the early stages of the disease, the surface of the eye will become cloudy and dry, and then there will be fibrosis and even eyelid spasms.
Laboratory diagnosis Lacrimal test strips, corneal staining test and biopsy are a few common methods How is it treated?
1. Artificial tears: This is the most difficult part of the treatment, as it is often necessary to give your dog artificial tears every 2 hours, and many people are unable to do so due to a variety of factors, resulting in failure of the treatment.
2. Antibiotic treatment: It can control the bacteria on the eyeball to destroy the surface of the eyeball.
3. Artificial Lacrimal Gland, a surgical procedure in which a portion of the salivary line is used as a lacrimal gland.
4. Drugs to stimulate tear secretion: Pilocarpine.
5. If cataracts, it is difficult to cure
