So last night spikes left eye I noticed he couldn't open it. He was pawing at it and trying to rub it w the carpet. I put a drop of Neopolydex opth susp/oint that our vet gave us for his eye allergies. He has always had problems with that eye. I also gave him a Benadryl. I tried to see if I could see it but he wouldn't let me. So I went on google and did some research. Idk if I'm right but it could b that his 3rd eyelid could be inflamed. He lower eye lid was swollen and red. He didn't have much drainage. So I massaged it for him bc my poor baby couldn't rub it. I gave him 25mg of Benadryl and he went to sleep with mama for the night :] this morning he still couldn't open it so I cleaned it w a soft cotton ball and put another drop in his eye. A friend of mine who use to be a vet tech told me to give him some baby aspirin so I went to Petsmart and found some dog aspirin 300 mg. I didn't give it to him bc I wasn't going to b able to b there to monitor him. He has his annual appointment tomorrow so hopefully he will be ok. Has anyone ever experienced anything like this. Spike is 2 years 4 months and is very healthy. I attached a pix of my baby's face idk if u can see the left eye and how swollen it is. I've read so much online about how aspirin this and aspirin that with dogs. So I'm kind of hesitant to give it to him. But I feel like he is in pain.
