Immediate Care for Pet Eye Injury: What to Do?
Even if their vision is compromised, pets can still live fulfilling lives. We hope that every owner will not discard them. While they may be particularly cautious around strangers due to their limited sight, with a bit more love and care, they remain the same beloved companions they've always been.
Possible Causes of Eye Injuries:
Foreign objects scraping the cornea or eye—such as from car accidents, falls from heights, or being struck by foreign objects
Fights with other animals—always recommend using a leash when outdoors to prevent such incidents
Longterm irritation of the cornea—eyelashes that turn inward, or "ectropion," can irritate the cornea, leading to opacity and potentially blindness
Emergency First Aid:
Use a damp cloth soaked in warm water or saline solution to gently cover the eye, and seek veterinary care as soon as possible
In the case of an eye being dislodged, keep it moist with saline solution and rush to the vet immediately
Thoroughly clean away any discharge—pus or blood can contain harmful bacteria, so gently wipe the eye with a damp cloth soaked in warm water or saline solution
Eye Care Tips:
Observe your pet's eyes closely, paying particular attention to the smoothness of the eye surface and the presence of any injuries. If the surface appears rough, it's important to have it checked by a veterinarian
Regularly clean away any eye分泌物
Supplement with trace minerals
