What Are Different Types Of Eye Infections A Dog Can Get?

You could check out www.wikipedia.org, and see what you come up with. But really, I think you should call a veterinarian and talk to them. They could more than likely tell you what kind it might be, and what you might be able to do for it at home. Hope this helps, good luck.
