Also sometimes called "pinkeye", this is more often seen during the summer months and during fly season. Although it appears painful and often has a yellowish discharge which covers the swollen eye, the condition can luckily be remedied rapidly with a sterile cleansing of the eye and the treatment of a topical ointment from your veterinarian.

If the swelling and discharge persists, the cause may also be from a foreign body in the eye, environmental irritants, or parasites and should be further checked by your veterinarian.
