Check the canine's eyes in a good light source. Know that only one eye might have conjunctivitis.
Look for bloodshot or pink to red coloring in the white area of the eye. The white part of the eye and the inside membrane lining the eyelids is called the conjunctiva.
See if the eyes have a mucous discharge.
Detect any yellow-green discharge around the eye area. This color usually indicates infection. Bacteria usually grow in this condition of conjunctivitis.
Notice crusty formations around the eyes. Clean the area with a damp cloth by gently rubbing away the crust.
Observe dry eyes with tear producing problems. Viral conjunctivitis commonly exhibits this symptom.
