Eye Infection in English Bulldog?

Hi Barry,

While I commend your common sense approach to your English Bulldog's eye problem, by rinsing her eye with saline, it is difficult to treat her holistically without some diagnostic work up.

From the photo you submitted, she does have conjunctivitis, which is inflammation of the conjunctiva. But it is best to find out if it is from a scratch on her cornea, a foreign body behind her third eyelid, from bacteria or from allergies.

You should take her to either a conventional, or better yet, to a holistic veterinarian for a more specific diagnosis. Then she can be treated holistically!

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

Take care,
Dr. Carol Jean Tillman
