Dog with red eye because sleeps with eye opened (photo)












2















I adopted an old boxer that sleeps with one eye a little open.



This part of the eye is red and I think is because it get dry.



Is there any nutrient or solution so he close his eye while he sleeps?

          Looks like his nictitating membrane (the "third eye lid") is inflamed. You should go to the vet for several reasons:




          • Get some antibiotic or anti-inflammatory eye drops to treat the current inflammation. Eye drops work better than antibiotic pills, because the active substances cannot be transported very well from the blood stream into the eye.

          • I think vets put special eye drops with vaseline into the eyes of animals they put under anaesthetic to prevent the eyes drying out. Maybe you can get some of those for your dog.

          • His eyes look somewhat bulging and he may be unable to completely close his eyelids. In this case his eye may get infected again and again. Ask the vet if this can be corrected with an operation.


          Edit:

          And I only now noticed that his nose looks really dry and flaky. A healthy dog should have a cool and moist nose. While this is by no means an indication that he is somehow ill, it sure looks uncomfortable. Doesn't hurt to do a general health check while you're at the vet.
