My dog's eyes started swelling , what is the problem ?

**Alex Zh** · 06-09-2013, 12:15 AM

Yesterday morning my dog was squinting his eyes a lot more then he use too. My girlfriend and I thought he might just be overly tired, but as the day went in it got worse. His eyes started swelling. So we took him to the vet and they said they don't know what's wrong and they don't think it's anything to do with his eyes. They gave pain meds and knumbing eye drops but even today they are just as bad as they were yesterday but with no swelling. What might it be since the vet can't even figure it out?

He does have flees and maybe it's the flees causing it?

Another thing you could take into consideration is that it could be seasonal allergies. Have you changed his food lately or anything else that he was used too. He could also just be tired like you thought. Just give it some time. But if it doesn't get better I would definitely take him back! keep an eye on him! good luck!

Some common causes for swollen eyes in dogs and cats may include: An allergic reaction (this can be from an inhaled allergen or from a food allergy), often involving additional swelling of the lip(s) and face. An infection of the eye or eyelid. A corneal abrasion, irritation or scratch. You can get all types of Dog accessories from dog carry bags manufactured by Duke and Dutches from the USA.
