How To Treat A Red Swollen Eye On A Dog
Introduction
Red swollen eyes on dogs can be caused by allergies, eye infections, trauma, or systemic diseases. The sooner you take your dog to the vet for diagnosis and treatment, the better his prognosis will be. If you’ve noticed your dog has a swollen red eye, let’s find out what could be causing it and what to do about it.
Redness in your dog’s eyes can happen for many reasons, including allergies, eye infections, trauma, and diseases affecting the entire body such as lupus or hypothyroidism.
There are several reasons why you might see redness in your dog’s eyes, including allergies, eye infections, trauma, and diseases affecting the entire body such as lupus or hypothyroidism.
If your dog is experiencing dry eye (also called keratoconjunctivitis sicca) due to an autoimmune disease like lupus or hypothyroidism (hypothyroidism), then the redness may be accompanied by larger than normal tear production.
As soon as you notice a red swollen eye on your dog, take him to the vet.
As soon as you notice a red swollen eye on your dog, take him to the vet. If it’s an emergency and you can’t get to the vet, you can use a cold compress to help reduce the swelling. You can also use an over-the-counter antihistamine to help reduce the swelling of his eye.
If your dog is not showing any signs of pain or discomfort, then there’s no need for medical care right away; however, if he is showing signs of discomfort or pain then seek medical care immediately!
Protect your dog from getting a red eye again by keeping his environment and things that come into contact with his face clean.
Keep your dog’s environment and things that come into contact with his face clean. You can do this by regularly cleaning the floors, furniture, and any other objects in the house. If you know that your dog has had an allergic reaction to something, it would be a good idea to get rid of it completely so he doesn’t have access to it again.
Keep an eye on him when he goes outside because plants such as ragweed can cause seasonal allergies in dogs. If you see something strange on his face or around him that might cause irritation (like pollen), remove it immediately with a damp cloth or paper towel and wash his face with warm water mixed with mild soap as soon as possible after getting outside.
If he gets something sticky on his face like sap from trees before washing it off thoroughly, try using saline solution instead of water so that there’s no chance for infection from bacteria building up inside cracks between tree bark or sap residue left behind after brushing off debris from branches above ground level where insects may have perched before dying due to lack of food supply nearby.”
If your dog will not go outside without something over his eyes, try getting some doggy sunglasses.

Conclusion
The best thing you can do if your dog has a red swollen eye is to take them to the vet and find out what is wrong. If it is an infection, the vet will be able to prescribe proper treatment like antibiotics. But if there is more going on than an infection, then treatment needs to address that as well.
