You can tell a lot about your pet's health by looking into it's
eyes. Many diseases, cataracts, and infections can cause
problems with your pet's eyes. Any discharge, swelling, redness,
or squinting of the eyes can signal a problem. Injuries to the
eye can be very serious and may result in blindness if not
properly treated. Splashing water into the eyes is a good way to
remove soap or other minor irritants. More serious problems
should be examined by a veterinarian. If your pet's eyes become
injured or infected, never use any medication without first
consulting with your veterinarian, since the wrong medicine can
do more harm than good. For more information on your pet's eye
problems, contact your veterinarian.
