dog with pink eye

by rollercoasterlove, Apr 16, 2007 12:00AM
my dog has pink eye and i am wondering if humans can catch it, and if it is possible he could have got it from a human because he is very social.

Are you sure it's pink eye? Some dogs (like boston terriers, bulldogs) get "cherry eye" and it is like the pink part of their eye "oozes" out. It's due to being WAY too excited or worked up. :) If it is pink eye  as in conjuctivitis....I don't know if people can get it! I sure hope not, though! That would really stink!

According to my vet, yes - pink eye in dogs can spread to humans and vice-versa. Be sure and wash your hands thoroughly after touching or treating your dog's eye!
