In this eye-opening episode of Chats with the Chatfields, we’re zooming in on one of the most common canine eye issues: conjunctivitis. Nope, pink eye in dogs isn't really a thing...at least not like it is in people. But, conjunctivitis, or inflammation in their eye, can leave your furry friend feeling irritated and uncomfortable. To help us untangle the causes, symptoms, and how best to determine if your dog should be seen by the vet, we’re joined by veterinary ophthalmologist Dr. Brittany Schlesener.
Dr. Schlesener shares her expertise on what makes dogs prone to conjunctivitis, how to tell if your pup’s red eye is a simple irritation or a sign of something more serious. Plus, we’ll dig into the myths about pink eye in pets—can it really spread to humans? Is it the same as pink eye in people? Do dogs really give it to each other? Spoiler alert: You don’t want to miss this part!
