Dogs can be prone to pink eye or conjunctivitis in much the same way people are. If you’re familiar with pink eye in people then you have a head start on the illness in dogs such as the Beagle. Conjunctivitis can be bacterial, viral or an allergic reaction referred to as red eye or pink eye. If you believe your Beagle may have conjunctivitis, call your vet right away. Symptoms of conjunctivitis includes redness, puffy eyelids, discharge, watery eyes, scratching at eyes, squinting, and even the sticking together of the eyelids. Conjunctivitis causes an itchy irritation to the eye and most often involves a discharge of a thick gummy substance. Common causes include allergic reactions to allergies in the air or other allergens. It can also occur as a result of a cold, upper respiratory infection or sore throat. Consult with your vets Wichita, KS to learn more about treatment options.
