Came home and my dog looks like he got his arse kicked by my other dog. My first suspicion was that it was a cop that did it, but the lack of bullet wounds is making me think otherwise.

Whenever I touch around his eye it doesn't bother him, and he's clearly not hurting or anything. Wash out his eye and give him a Benadryl, or just monitor it and reevaluate in the morning? Don't think a vet trip is necessary. TIA.

Looks like he's been playing some football.

Maybe took a flag to the eye?

He'll be okay; but career probably lost.

Yeah they're going around. Just got a Yorky from North Carolina to Georgia and the eyes are closing up. I'm flushing with saline before the two week wait for the vet. HELP ANYONE!

I deal with my bulldog's allergies all the time.

Unfortunately a lot of the time you still have to go to the vet because you need the precription ointment.

But if you are hoping to avoid that, put a comfy cone on him so he can't scratch and give him a ton of benadryl (dogs can handle a lot).

In the end, you'll end up with the 2oz 30 dollar ointment called neomycin and polymyxin b sulfates, bacitracin zinc and hydrocortisone ophthalmic ointment usp from Bausch and Lomb

I have a black lab (#blacklablivesmatter), he gets that from time to time. Maybe some Benadryl and rest.

I would personally just watch him to make sure it doesn't get worse...I would suspect some of the same minor shite that makes our eyes swell up from time to time (i.e. allergies, bug flew in it, etc.)...

Thanks.

I figured it wasn't anything major, but just wanted to confirm. Went out and got some Benadryl so I have a feeling he will be knocked out cold soon.

Beautiful dog.

Does it ever stick its head out the car window?

Thanks. And he rarely rides in the car because we live within a walkable distance to a dog park, beach, vet, etc.

Took him to the beach over the weekend and he probably ate a pound of sand whenever he went to pick up a stick I was throwing, but I don't think that's the cause.

Looks like he was stung by a bee.

Benadryl him up.

That's a good looking dog. Did you consider a bee or wasp sting? If it was my dog, I would just monitor for a few days before going to the vet since there is no pain or discharge.

I was initially concerned that it was a spider bite, but I don't think it's that. Could be a bee. Either way he's definitely drugged up now and hopefully the swelling goes down.

Hmm...maybe the wind blew sand into his eye or he kicked sand into his own face?

I give my dog two Benadryl capsules every eight hours. Very safe for her and your dog as well.
