Agriv8 Posted June 5, 2021 Report Share Posted June 5, 2021 So my sprocker has had crusty eyes for last few days which I had put down to hot weather and a lot of pollen. But now wandering if she has picked up some conjunctivitis? There is no redness around the eyeball. But this his her eyes first thing in the morning and similar build up throughout the day. What do you guys suggest please ? I have been applying cooled boiled water but it does not seem to be making much difference thanks in advance Agriv8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loriusgarrulus Posted June 5, 2021 Report Share Posted June 5, 2021 Apply a cooled wet tea bag 3-4 times a day till it clears. (No milk or sugar) If its not cleared within 3 days or starts to get worse take her to the vet. This does work really well for most minor eye infections in the early stages. 11 minutes ago, Agriv8 said: So my sprocker has had crusty eyes for last few days which I had put down to hot weather and a lot of pollen.

Yellow Bear Posted June 5, 2021 Report Share Posted June 5, 2021 Our sprok (8 y old) has always had this but the vet said nothing to worry about unless it gets substantially worse. Said it was dust/pollen on slight weep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldfish Posted June 5, 2021 Report Share Posted June 5, 2021 (edited) Boiled water then add a good dose of salt then cool and wash out, most infections cant exist in an environment with a high salinity, wash it twice a day for 2 or 3 days and if it doesn’t clear up go to the vet. Doesn’t hurt, just matches tears, nice gentle clean out 👍 Edited June 5, 2021 by Goldfish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted June 5, 2021 Report Share Posted June 5, 2021 My lab’ is like that every morning. Sometimes it occurs through the day, some times not. I just wipe it away. Conjunctivitus is much much worse than that shown in your photo’. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lloyd90 Posted June 5, 2021 Report Share Posted June 5, 2021 Just excess dust and pollen, it’s worse this time of year. Normally just wipe it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agriv8 Posted June 5, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2021 Thanks as always at no time has her eye lids been stuck together or seeming to be causing her discomfort so plan is to wipe out with tea bag ( my grandad swore by this for his spaniel ) and monitor any sign of redness or getting worse I will call in free online vet consultation from dog insurance policy.
