Common Questions and Answers about Swollen eye on a dog

swollen

Avatar n tn hi, I have a shiba inu who recently has developed a hard lump under his left eye. It feels similar to the texture of a bone, and does not seem to bother him when pressed. His behavior has not changed as well. Should I be worried?
Avatar m tn He normally will have a little eye redness after being groomed but when my husband brought him him I was shocked. The whole membrane around his eye was red and swollen. I posted a picture on facwbook and I have a friend who is a groomer and use to work for a vet and said this looked like it came from being choked by the harness. It is not cherry eye since that is in the corner of the eye. Could this have come from being choked?
Avatar n tn my 16 year old hack russle X chiwawa dog is blind , 3 days ago i notices his left side of his face was swollen , swelling has gone down now its just under his eye socket he is eating n drinking as normal his eye looks wet to can u help
Avatar n tn Yesterday, when I woke up, I noticed it was a little swollen. As the day went by, it started hurting when I blinked and today it is a little more swollen than yesterday, but not too swollen. It hurts when I blink and the top corner of my eye is tender to touch. There seems to be no signs of anything resembling a stye. I applied some ice last night to see if the swelling would go down, but it doesn't seem like it will.

Avatar n tn Follicular conjunctivitis or follicular hyperplasia is a disease of the lymphoid follicles that are present on the conjunctiva of the eye. It represents an exaggerated reaction by these follicles to environmental allergens. The greatest number of the follicles are beneath the surface of the nictitans membrane (third eyelid), and that is where the problem is most apparent.
Avatar f tn I am not a Vet but it should be ok. Not unusual fir there to be a lump or some soreness. However, do keep an eye on her and the lump. If it gets larger, it should be checked by a Vet to make sure there is no abscess.
4193686 tn?1350878620 woke up today vomit everywhere. Dog wont eat and doesn't move much. Her eye is swollen and doesn't open it much. Also oozing.

Avatar n tn My cat was attacked by a dog last evening.His face on one side was swollen and one eye lid was shut. I kept him warm and applied warm compressors to the side that was swollen.Today the swelling has gone down considerably and the eye is open.He is eating soft food.I am concerned about him ,wondering if his jaw is fractured ? I do plan on bringing him to a vet.But I was wondering what you think?
Avatar n tn I had to lance it myself on Saturday and Sunday to keep draining it. Finally got to a vet 100 km away on monday. Drained and antibiotics. no obvious cause .. possibly a sharp bone pierced side at rear of mouth into neck tissue .. causing infection .. however no apparent wound from which it could have drained itself. Two broken front teeth .. right side removed .. not associated with problem. To go back after 3 days .. vet will check neck after swelling gone down to see if glands enlarged.
Avatar f tn Also i notice when i pull down my eyelid i see like this idk what to call it i think its part of the eyelid that holds the eye, it is also a little swollen . . . I don't im freaking out i pray its just a minor eye infection and nothing serious that can damage my eye -.
Avatar n tn i just noticed , my dog suddenly had a swollen ball under his eye. what could this be from?? he is eating and drinking and acting normal except the ball under his eye stands out very much and it only occurred minutes ago.. does anyone knowwhat it could be from?? and what i can do???
Avatar n tn I would definately get him to the vet. I wish I knew exactly what it looked like. Sometimes in the summer dogs will get these seed like things from the grass stuck in there eye. Sometimes it will come out on it's own, sometimes it won't and it can get infected. We live out in the country with a lot of running room for our dogs so it didn't surpise me when it happened last week.
Avatar n tn Since you can't get a vet until Friday, keep a very close eye on her. In fact, squeeze the nipples yourself and see what the milk looks like that comes out. As long as it's white, you're OK, but if there is any blood in the milk, take the puppies off her and start feeding them with a bottle. Blood in the milk is a sign of infection, and you don't want the puppies nursing from her if she has an infection bad enough to produce blood-streaked milk.
Avatar n tn I gave him a bath and now he has a large red swollen (size of a large marble) red bump next to his eye and hes having a hard time seeing. You can see where his hair was attached the pores a that open.
Avatar m tn s something they see all the time, and you will get a much better answer. If it keeps growing, it will probably need surgery. Keep a close eye on it. He relies on you for everything. Good luck.
Avatar m tn Yeah, it looks a little better today, its right above her eye so I expected a little swelling and kind of a black eye, the size of the puncture is about the size of a nail head. Her mood is much better today, so that looks like a good sign but if doesn't go down at all to the vet we will go... Thanks for the help.
Avatar n tn my rot is 5 and has a swollen neck and it moved to his eye, we cant see his eye its pink, he drinks alot of water, we cant get the money to bring him to the vet, what do we do?
Avatar m tn If this lump is right below the eye towards her nose, that's a classic sign of an abscessed tooth.....Yes, they can come up over night!!!!! The swelling does make it look like an eye issue, but it clearly is not! Something else: This happened to one of mine & off we went to have her teeth checked....The lump came up overnight & her eye was swollen shut.....Turns out, there was a splinter lodged in the side of her face.....It was under the skin & broken off...I could not feel it.
Avatar m tn Likely due to eye infections at lid margins, applying warm compress on that region & proper lid hygiene will help to reduce these symptoms.
Avatar m tn Well i have found a vet that takes Care credit and they said i have to leave the dog over night so they can do an X-Ray on him and to call in the morning for the results. They have stated that the dog may have a swollen disk that is why he can't walk on his back legs because the disk's could be swollen. If all goes well the disk would be swollen and he shall be fine with rest and healing + steroids to be fixed. Should dog's even be using steroids?
676032 tn?1315674063 And a partridge in a pear tree.........Now that was a mouth full. LOL. I think that if no one knew what we were talking about, they would think we were all a bit looney. LOL. But one thing is for sure.....we all suffer from alot of the same things. Aren't we special? LOL. Oh if it were only funny? I laugh because I don't want to cry. Our thyroid problems are sometimes different, but yet the same. It causes us to be frustrated and yet somehow we learn to cope.
