Hi,
I am on lunch time.
Yes, Conjunctivitis (Pink eye) can happen in any animal including
dogs. With Pyrenees it is easier to detect due to their larger eyes, and
the whites of the eyes are easier to see an inflammation. There is usually
some type of discharge...most generally green in color, and green is an
indicator that there might be some kind of infection. At least that is
what our Vet told us when Emmett was diagnosed as having conjunctivitis.
It can spread to other animals in the home, and to people. So we were
careful to wash after giving ointment. The ointment prescribed seemed to
take forever to clear it up, but it finally did. Emmett also got
a antibiotic shot at the time of diagnosis. Emmett was so
uncomfortable, and it came on so quick. And at first I thought it was
allergies, but then the brown discharge became green, and he started
rubbing his face up against things. If you think that your Pyr may have
Conjunc...have it checked out.
Here is the ointment they prescribed...
... but I hope there are other treatments/medicine
that could work more quickly, and I would love to know of them. Has anyone
used any other treatments/medicines, for conjunctivitis?
Have a good day! Hope the info helps.
