Worried Again. What's new?

Hi Arianne,
this is really strange, I have never come across a dog having pink eyes. Are you sure it is pink and not yellow? Sorry, that might sound silly, I know you know the difference between yellow and pink. It could be that he has jaundice, the liver struggling with all the medications. But like I said his eyes would be yellow.
We all here totally understand the panic, we have been there. The slightest change gets you into a state of worry. Most of the times we worry for nothing, but you certainly don’t want to miss anything. I am glad you are seeing the vet tomorrow. It could well be an infection. These dogs have a very suppressed immune system and are very much exposed to any infection. Urinary tract infections are very common so why not an eye infection. Just because I have not heard it does not mean it can not happen. It would make sense and I am sure it would be easily treated with antibiotics. One thing that we always say is, this disease is like a roller coaster. It hits you hard and then the dog gets better and you are so happy. Before you know it there is something else. It is two steps forward one step back. The main thing is that you focus on moving forward and don’t let that little step back discourage you. The fact that Carsten is more like himself is huge! The side effects of the drugs are not nice, but he will slowly but surely get better!

Best wishes,
Brigitte

Okay, I’m dreaming, I’ve searched through the forum and I’m not seeing anything about allergies causing pink eyes.

I’m thinking Brigitte is probably right and you’re looking at some sort of an infection.

Let us know what the vet says.
