Sore Eyes
These can be due to conjunctivitis (home remedy cold used tea bags they work fantastically on this condition), grass seeds or thorns in the eye, scratches to the eye or ulcer for any of these. The main thing is to stop the dog rubbing the eye or the problem will quickly worsen. Use an Elizabethan collar. If you are concerned that something like dust or bleach has got in the eye, try to flush the eye out with lukewarm water. In general, should only be seen by a vet if eye is very painful, weeping profusely or getting worse rapidly.
