How can I tell if my puppy has pink eye or it is just irritated?I have a 2 month old pitt/catahoula leopard mix puppy, Shep, whose lower eye lid (in the past couple of days) seems to be getting pink. There doesn't seem to be a discharge and it doesn't look like "cherry eye", from what I have seen thru pics on the net. He doesn't paw at his eye and it doesn't look cloudy, but I would like to know if it is pink eye or just something irritating his eye.

there is usually discarge if it is pink eye, if no discharge i wouldnt worry about it, but see a doctor just incase because pink eye is extremely contageous.

Your best bet is to take him into the vet to be 100% sure. Until then, rinse his eye out w/ saline solution. If you do not have any, you may use contact lense saline. I used this on my dogs eye once per my pet first aid book and it helped right away. Good luck and I hope it is nothing serious.

pink eye can be two different things. it can be a virus, or it can be just allergies or getting some form of irritant in its eye.

Were my pup we'd be at the vet to find out what the problem is and get it treated correctly. Why take a chance?

Instead of asking one here go to the vet and be sure there is an old saying "better safe than sorry" and it is very true.
