Eye

• My dog had a semi-swollen eye, and I tried flushing it out with water, but it didn't appear to help much other than remove gunk.
• Is the eyeball itself that is swollen, that eye is bigger than the other eye, or is the swelling around the eye, like the eyelids?
• If this eye truly appears larger than the opposite eye, this could be glaucoma, and glaucoma is a medical emergency; even waiting one day can make a difference it keeping his sight.
• If the swelling is around the eye, the eyelids and surrounding area, then it might be something like an infection or allergic reaction.
• You can try cool compresses to take down swelling of the eyelids.
