| Lumas eye swollen We came back from going out to eat and let Luma out of her crate. I quickly noticed her left eye was a little swollen. It is getting more and more pronounced I dont know if its an allergic reaction or something poked her in the eye....could baby benadryl help? Where and what brand to buy it? Its just one eye, and its only her lower "lid". Under her eye.. its really swollen I of course want to rush to the vet but bf says its not that bad....what do y'all think?? Poor baby. She cant even blink it...

| It's her eye, she needs to see the vet... if you have plain eyewash you could rinse the eye.

| I would go straight to the vet today!! These pups can get abrasions on their corneas that can quickly turn into deep ulcers. I would do nothing and head to a vet today...what can happen over 24 hours can be frightening! I cannot emphasize this enough! I have dealt with eye ulcers and know how bad they can become. If you call the vet and tell them it is an eye issue, they should fit you in immediately.

| Carmen I would take Luma to the Vet right away. My Boxer had an abrasion on her eye and we were told it could burst. Please keep us posted on Sweet Luma.

| Good. Eye issues should always be seen the same day.

| Yep, we're here. They took us back immediately and took temp, normal. She lost three ounces since last weigh in. Shes 3.3Lbs. Looked at her belly and saw bug bites/rash and her eye has gone down a bit. They only have one doctor on staff right now for whatever reason, and shes next door taking care of a dog whose been howling the whole time. So.
