Can humans get pink eye from a dog licking its butt then your eye?
This would depend on the cause. If both the dog and human are allergic to a particular pollen or mold and were both exposed, they could both develop "pink eye" even though one did not give it to the other. If the dog has bacterial pink eye, it is possible for the bacteria to be transferred to a human and cause pink eye in that person as well. However, if the cause is viral, traumatic, foreign body or cancer, humans would not be at risk for zoonotic infection from the dog.
What should you do if a dog has pink eye?
You should take your dog to a veterinarian for an examination. "Pink eye" is the lay term for conjunctivitis - inflammation of the membranes over the sclera (white part of the eye). This can be caused by infection, trauma, foreign body, cancer or infestation, and treatment is based upon the underlying cause. If it is not treated by a veterinarian, you risk the dog going blind in that eye, as well as suffering a great deal of pain.
