My 5-month French Bulldog has a red, swollen eye. What's wrong?

It is a good idea to have King Blue checked out by a vet. It could be an allergic reaction or something stuck under the eyelids. Try to keep him from scratching his eye with his paws since he may damage the cornea. The vet will do a thorough exam and may prescribe eye ointments or anti-inflammatories for the swelling.

That is likely to be due to a mild to moderate conjunctivitis, probably secondary to an allergy or infection. A check up would be needed as appropriate treatment would include antibiotics and anti-inflammatory eye drops. Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.

It looks like he has experienced some type of trauma to that eye and hsca wound. He should see your veterinarian immediately for an eye exam and at minimum will require prescription topical eye medications to allow this to heal without getting infected and causing more serious problems. I cannot say that surgery is needed from the photo, but it may be a possibility.

Wasabi is suffering from an eye infection . This needs to be seen by a veterinarian who will need to examine the eye for ulceration and injury. He will doe an eye exam with an ophtalmoscope and will also put some diagnostic fluid in the eye which will show up any damage to the cornea, Treatment will depend on the findings and will include an eye ointment or eye drops and possibly pain medications. Please do not put any ointment or medication into the eye unless it was prescribed by a vet for this condition.

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Otis. From the picture, it looks like his third eyelid is sticking. This is a normal structure of the dog's eye, but it should not be out when the eye is open. When this happens, it's a sign of an eye infection, an injury to the eye, or a condition called Horner's syndrome among other causes. Any eye problem needs to be checked out by a vet promptly as leaving it untreated can lead to vision loss. I'd take him into the vet in the morning. I hope this helps!

It's a little difficult to tell exactly what might be red and swollen in your picture. It looks like the redness and swelling may be around the eye as opposed to actual eye itself. If this is the case, an allergic reaction or eyelid infection would be two of the more common causes. If it is the white of his eye that looks swollen conjunctivitis, a corneal abrasion, or inflammation in the eye would all be possibilities. If the swelling worsens or if you notice swelling around the other eye or the muzzle I'd recommend seeing a veterinarian as soon as you can since this would increase the concern for an allergic reaction which should be treated promptly. Otherwise I think you're okay to wait to see your regular veterinarian if the swelling is still present in the morning, unless he seems painful or begins squinting.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This could be due to trauma to the eye and could be serious. I highly recommend that you have her evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Good luck and have a good day!
