My dogs eyes are swollen and puffy what could it be

Hi my 5yr old staffy tyson is normally full of life but since thursday started off with him vomiting Thursday thort it might just be a bug but come to Friday and he just wasn't he's self wouldn't eat but was drinking plenty Saturday nite he seemed to pick up a little and my son took him out for a walk and he seemed fine until Sunday morning when we noticed his eye was swollen and inflamed so I started bathing his eye with cool boiled salty water but now it's seems to be hes other eye is starting to swell also i have no idea why or what has caused this please any advice would be great thankyou

Hi & welcome.

You've probably already heard this from someone else, but please go to the vet. It may be nothing, but eyes should always be checked. Plus, if he's not been himself he may have some sort of virus/bacterial infection that needs looking at. Of course, it may just be an allergy, but it isn't worth the risk.

In the meantime, hold a damp, used tea bag (cold, obviously) over his eye for about a minute, several times a day. Tea calms irritation & won't hurt!

Hi from me & Katy, sorry to hear Tyson is poorly I agree with Gilly, a trip to the vets is advisable! If it had just been his eyes I would of said allergy but if he's been sick & off colour it could be something else. Let us know how you get on,

Hi thankyou for your replys just to let yous know that tyson has been to the psda vets this morning and hes been kept In they think he might have a absess at the back of his throat and was quite painful when the vet checked inside his mouth so he's been giving a general anisetic so they can check properly to see what it is I'll keep you updated on his progress

Oh, poor boy!

Hopefully they can just paint some antibiotic on it & he'll be right as rain in time!

Please do let us know what happens.

So glad you got him checked out They do like to worry us
Keep us updated on how he is please.
