I Think My Dog Has Pink Eye!

My dog has many symptoms of pink eye. Is there a home remedy for dogs? We live an hour from town and the vet only comes to our town a couple of days per week. I have dealt with it with people years ago but what can I do for a dog?? Thanks bunches!!

I would strongly encourage you not to "self-diagnose" your dog - dogs can have issues that look like pink eye but are caused by different things, quite often something very small in they eye (particularly caught under the third eyelid). Call the vet, and leave a description. You may find that you need to make the hour long drive, but perhaps they can help over the phone as well.

Hey purple, I hope it is just pink-eye but like Tiffany said, talk to your vet. I thought my dog had pink-eye. Actually, the vet initially thought so too, but as soon as the antibiotics were done, it came right back. It ended up she has glaucoma. Good Luck!

Thanks for your replies! She could barely see for 3 days. I prayed over her and the next day she was better. Then the next day back to normal...Praise the Lord! :D

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
