My dog has cancer. Could it be causing her eye to swell, bleed, leak?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | American Pit Bull Terrier | Female | unspayed

I have asked this question but My dogs eye seems flipped and it’s leaking, bleeding, and swollen. What’s the best thing to do in this situation? She has eye drops but those don’t seem to be working” but forgot to mention that we went to the vet and they diagnosed her with cancer I’m very concerned that this could be an effect of that. Is there any way that her cancer can cause her eye to be this swollen? (She also has Decameron NaP04 and Tobramycin Solution, but those don’t seem to be working)

Poor Skyler. Given that the eye drops don't appear to be working, you do need to take her back into the vet. This looks pretty bad. I'm sorry she has cancer. Depending on what type of cancer she has, it could be possible it's affecting her eye. I'd take her back into a vet today.
