A dog’s eye health is a major component of his overall health and wellness. Always talk to your vet Westlake Village, CA if you suspect your Boxer has scratched or injured his eye in some way. Your Boxer may develop an eye irritation from an eyelash or some other type of debris in his eye. Inflammation or watery eyes can also be caused by a scratch no matter the size. Signs that your dog may have scratched his eye include watery eyes, green or yellow eye discharge, squinting, excessive blinking, and an avoidance of bright lights. Always call your vet right away as a small irritation could lead to excessive damage to the eye if not treated by a professional. In most cases, your vet will want to examine your dog’s eye at the office. Your vet may even want to “stain” your dog’s eye in order to identify any scratches or debris.
