Worried pls help

My grandad just took Ruby out for a walk and she was fine when she come back, 10 min after grandad leaves Rubys eyes start to swell ive taken a picture...............





If anyone could help me or suggest anything, i would be really grateful xx
thanks from a very worried mummy xxxx

billys eyes were like this the other week, all his face swelled up including his nose, I think he had been stung by a wasp. We gave him some piriton and kept an eye on it. It took a couple of days to go down fully.

hope this helps

poor ruby

It could be a grass seed that is stuck in her eye, although I would be suprised if swelled so quickly. Me personally would be off to the vets. Poor Ruby, have you tried examining her eye for any foreign bodies? Let us know how you get on Xx

We live quite far away from the vet, and i dont drive otherwise i would! Beau has the vets at 3.30 ill take her then, my grandad is going to take us...

my poor little girl...

Poor thing, have you tried the piriton, just half a tablet until you can get her to the vets?

does it have to be piriton or any alergy releif tablet?

Awww, poor darling.
U would also take her to the vets. Please let us know how you get on.

Have you spoken to your Grandad since he left? Did your grandad say anything unusual happened on her walk????

I've only used piriton, but I think you could use another (not too sure). Just half though.

i had some ASDA's own alergy releif that i take for hayfever, i gave her half with a bit of tea, she was scratching at her eye, and she does have a tiny round cut...im assuming she was either bit by something or stung........THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP!! I dont know what i would have done!!!!!

He said he took her to the moat, which he dosnt usually do, then he popped in his friends house and she was limping, he said he checked her paw and there was nothing there then she sat by the front door with her head down (looking miserabe, which she does when we are at someones house and she wants to come home), when he left he said she was "right as rain" running about being her normal self...........

Im definatly taking her to the vet when i take Beau....her eyes and nose are swollen, but she is having no trouble breathing, and when i let Beau out for a wee, she was playing with him in the garden, now she is snuggled up with him sleeping

It's definitely an allergic reaction - probably as you say a bite or sting. The anti histamine should help, but I'd just mention it to the vet when you go.

Thanks Caryll, I think so too, im definatly going to take her to the vet, just to be on the safe side xx xx

i'd agree it might be a sting but with her nose starting to swell too it is deffinately a vets job let us know how you get on and whta they say. poor baby looks like mike tyson is in town LOL

LOL will do, she is fine in herself now, the alergy releif tablet definiatly did somthing for the better, her nose and eyes have gone down loads, im not so worried now!

Initally i think it was the shock, i was way more upset than she was....duh typical me! vets is at half 3, ill let you all know how i get on xxx Thanks again!! xxxx

Good luck

Please be really carefull with just any old human tablets priton i no is defo fine but but pritize i no can be very harm full. The one u have used seems to have been okay but i would only use priton if any thing like that happens again x

^this pretty much, allergic reactions can be very severe

vinnie gets swelling bumps exactly like those when he has been lying on the grass and i check him and he has red ants around the area .. could she have had anything on her face to sting or bite her?.

i totally understand the severity of an alergic reaction, and i did take her to the vet and made sure what i was giving her wasnt harmful, see new topic...

It looks like a wasp sting to me.My jackrussell got stung by a wasp and her eyes went like that we took her to vet and we had along wait to see the vet when we got in the swelling had nearly gone down she gave jessie a allergy shot and we was on our way.jessies took about 6 hours to go down.We was realy scared also i was panicking and crying i know how you feel
