  1. his eye is probably infected, u might want to take him to a vet to get him checked


  2. Vet vet vet vet!

  3. What you can do at home

    If you can catch your frisky friend, take a good look at her eyes. You may see a small speck of dirt or debris. (Keep daredevil dogs from riding with their heads sticking out of the car window—you never know what will fly into their eyes.) Try to flush out the dust or debris with artificial tears or saline solution used by contact lens wearers. If the injury is minor, her bloodshot eyes should return to normal in a few hours.

    If your dog’s eyes ooze thick discharge, let your veterinarian see the goo before washing it off, because the color and consistency can provide valuable information.

  5. 1) One type of "growth" that will look like a red lump in the eye is called cherry eye. This is not actually a new growth exactly, but an enlargement of a gland in their 3rd eyelid which then pops out and can cover the front of the eye. Here's an article on cherry eye, along with a photo:

    If your dog's growth in the eye looks just like that, then you most likely have a cherry eye, or prolapsed gland, going on. As you can read in the article, these typically have to be repaired surgically. They often do irritate and rub on the eye, or cause some secondary discharge or infection, so this is probably why you are seeing the discharge.

    2) In an older dog, there are also many types of skin tumors that can occur and you could have a growth related to the skin or other types of glands in the area.

    In either case, a visit to your vet is warranted as soon as it is convenient, to confirm what is going on and talk about treatment options. If it is a cherry eye, and surgery can't be done for some reason. at least an antibiotic ointment can often be used in the eye to keep secondary infection and discharge under control.
