Please take your dog to the vet.

as much as you dont want to hear this.. take your dog to the vet.

You have to get prefessional help, would you see your dog with one eye because you didnt bother to get him sorted out?

Yes, dogs can get Pink eye...so can cats. I do suggest you at least call your Vet, and preferably take the pup-a roo IN FOR A VISIT! http://en.allexperts.com/q/Ask-Veterinarian-700/pink-eye-dogs.htm From the above web site, for your consideration. "One of the most common eye problems for dogs and cats is conjunctivitis.Also known as pinkeye,conjunctivitis is an inflammation of the membrane covering the inside of the eyelids and the front of the eye.Caused by such things as allergies,infections or even distemper,it can make your pet's eyes crusty,itchy and red,with an ugly abundance of pus or tears. To speed healing and make your pet more comfortable,you'll want to clean the discharge from her eyelids.Wet a soft,clean cloth or cotton ball with lukewarm water,squeeze it out and gently wipe away the goop from around your pet's eyes.Repeat twice a day or as often as needed. Instead of using water,you may want to try an over-the-counter eye scrub.Eye scrubs are pH-balanced and may cause less stinging than water. You can buy eye srubs at pet stores,but scrubs formulated for humans are just as effective. Just follow the directions as if your pet were human. While eye scrubs can help keep the lids clean,you'll also want to wash the surface of the eye.A good way to do this is with artificial tears,which can help wash away particles that may be causing the problem. Covering your pet's eyes with a damp,warm compress can be very soothing.Wet a soft,clean cloth in lukewarm water,wring it out,and gently hold it across her eyes for five minutes.This can make your pet's eyes feel much better,and it goes a long way toward keeping her eyes clean. If your pet balks at having both eyes covered,apply the compress to one eye for about five minutes. Then rinse the cloth and place it on the other eye. Of course,you can skip this step if only one eye is affected. Regular grooming can help prevent eye irritations before they get started.Hair in your pet's eyes can cause irritation that can lead to conjunctivitis if it's matted up around the corners.Brushing the hair back away from the eyes or getting a grooming to cut excess hair can help prevent conjunctivitis. When traveling in the car,don't let your pet cruise with her head out the window.Debris can get in the eye,and the eye becomes more prone to infection. WHEN TO SEE THE VET While conjunctivitis isn't difficult to treat,any eye infection can result in permanent damage,so you'll want to see your vet at the first sign of problems. In some cases your pet may need antibiotics to clear up an infection. In addition,some dogs that appear to have conjunctivitis actually have a condition known ad dry eye, or keratoconjunctivitis sicca (cats are rarely affected, but it can happen). It occurs when there aren't enough tears to keep the eyes properly lubricated.Your vet can test you dog's tears to see if she has dry eye.If she does,treating the problem with artificial tears may be all that's needed,although some pets will need antibiotics or steroids as well. Before trying any of this information,be sure to ask your vet if it is OK. You can print this out or send it to her/his office."

well... unless youre a trained professional or even a trained amateur or even just knowledgeable able this condition... and you dont want to... infect yourself or family kill your dog or watch him suffer and then infect the neighborhood, animals or your friends and coworkers and school classmates and possibly on and on from petting your dog and then shaking someones hands id take him to the vet

I'm surprised everyone is so sarcastic and condescending on this post. If no one has noticed the economy is bad and many people are low on cash. Perhaps this person just wanted to make sure it wasn't something stupid that would clear up in a day or too on its own before he wasted a hundred bucks at the vets.

False eyeleshes may help improve his self-image

Not everyone can afford vet bills and maybe those people are coming on the interent to see what they can do in order to help their dogs, like me!!! I don't want to see my dog in pain by any means but I unfortunately don't have the luxury of going to the vet! If I did I wouldn't be on here reading comments from condescending arrogant people!!! who apparently have never experienced financial hardships!!!!

Thank you very much for your input redhawk. We feel that was very kind of you, some of us have not made it to the TOP OF THE CORPORATE LADDER yet and are sharing in the financial hardships that over half of our nation is suffering from currently. It is nice to know that there are people out there who still believe in KINDNESS and HELPING others without sarcasim and judgemental attitudes!

my dog just had the same problem. I came home from work and his eye was swollen. I took him to the vet and it cost $380 for them to tell me it was an infected upper cannine tooth(+ antibiotics and pain/imflamation medication). You need to look in the dogs mouth and see if there is redness and swelling around his back teeth and if so this is prob the same thing. Fucked up part is that tooth needs to be removed or will get infected again and i dont have that kind of money ($900). So i am giving him the meds and am trying to find a cheaper vet or anything otherwise i will have to put him down. thinking about it breaks my heart. good luck ps if you try to give him/her meds such as baby asprin or baby benidryl for pain and imflamation make sure you do the research first as certain common meds are very dangerous to give to animals. Dosage is very important as well so make sure you really do some good research on whats best for your dog.
