They absolutely can, at least under the right circumstances. I accidentally scratched my dog's eye least year while playing with him, and as a result he developed a pretty bad case of pink eye about a week later, discharge and all.

It fortunately cleared up pretty quickly with some prescription eye ointment, which _un_fortunately required a fairly pricey urgent care visit to basically say "Yep, it's pink eye".
