Dog’s Eye is Red Made Worse By Continued Scratching

Hi Sylvia,

Please take your dog in for an exam to search her eye for a foreign body. I suspect that is why she is scratching so hard at one eye.

Of course, she may have a more systemic problem such as allergies, and it is just worse around the one eye. Or mange, Demodex mites can infiltrate into the eyelashes and cause some itching.

If she has conjunctivitis, or a corneal scratch, she needs to be seen by a veterinarian for treatment. Of course, a holistic veterinarian would be preferable.

Another resource for vets knowledgeable in homeopathy is AVH.org.

In the meantime, (if she will allow), you can use saline to flush her eye. (Make it using 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt into 1 cup of Spring Water.)

Please keep us posted by coming back to this page and clicking the 'click here to add your own comments' link below.

Take care,
Dr. Carol Jean Tillman
