Any ideas about what is wrong with my dog's eye?

Question

We just rescued a 4 or 5 year old female rottweiler. I noticed that the area around her eye does not have much fur and is very very dry. When she is drowsy, I can see that the area below her eye is red. At times she squints with this eye. It doesn't bother her, but I would like to make it better for her. Any ideas on how to help her?

Answer 1

yea, take her to the vet.

Answer 2

well it might be genetic or maybe something got at her eye before she was rescued or maybe it is just a little infection if she starts itching at it or acting funny i would then take her to the vet but it might just be normal and just bring it up to your vet at her next check up.

Answer 3

Not positive but it could possibly be cherry eye. they usually have to remove part of the eyelid. i've never heard of it happening to a rottweiler but that's the only thing i could think of it being.

Answer 4

Just moisten the area with a damp cloth

Answer 5

I would take her to the vet. It sounds like It would do more damage in the future for your rottweiler.
