(Lutz, FL, USA)
When I came home from school today my dog Coco had his left eye half open with a mucus-looking discharge coming from it. He won’t let me wipe his eye, and when I force him, there is an orangish-red residue on the tissue. After wiping away the residue, the discharge still comes back.
Coco is 10 years old and is an Australian silky terrier. He has demodex mites and is losing hair on his hind quarters as well. I have already ordered medicine for the mites, but it won’t be here for at least 2 weeks.
Could the eye problems be caused by the demodex mites? Could it be an eye infection? Do I need to take him to the vet, or is there a home remedy that I could try? Is the combination of problems in a dog of his age serious enough that the vet might recommend putting him down?
Thank you very much. I really appreciate this service because it is difficult for me to afford the high cost of taking Coco into the vet.
Have a happy thanksgiving break!
