What Causes Pet Eye Infections?

Pet eye infections might seem harmless, and they might be able to go away on their own if they are incredibly mild. Unfortunately, this is hardly ever the case, and chances are you will need to visit our animal clinic for treatment. Pet eye infections have serious underlying causes, including:

  • Bacterial infections can cause pink eye, also known as conjunctivitis, and can be spread from pet to pet or from one eye to the other
  • Viral infections, such as distemper, herpes, and hepatitis
  • Trauma or injury that has now become infected
  • Debris in the eye
  • Seasonal allergies or allergic reactions to an allergen

If you notice your pet has been suffering from the signs and symptoms of pet eye infections, such as:

  • Watery eyes
  • Pain in the eye
  • Swollen eyes
  • Discharge from the eye
  • Whining 
  • Fever
  • Chills

It's time to schedule a visit with a veterinarian for help.

How Can a Veterinarian Help?

Our veterinarians offer a wide range of services to treat pet eye infections. This includes conducting a physical exam and taking a look at your pet's eye to determine the type of infection that is affecting them. Laboratory tests can also help.

Once our vets determine the root cause of your pet's infection, we can indicate the best treatment options. These treatments can include antibiotics, or eye drops, placed in your pet's eye. Antihistamines can also help alleviate symptoms that are caused by allergies. Surgery might also be required if your pet's eye infection is severe, caused by trauma, or due to debris in the eye.
