My dog's eye is swollen and squinting. Can it recover fully?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Hi! My dog was hot on the eye 4 days ago and it swells for two days. Now i noticed that his eye is squinting(ocular trauma). Is this treatable? Does his eye will go back to its normal condition?

It can be treated, but your dog needs to see a vet immediately. Any problem with the eye should be considered an emergency because leaving it untreated can lead to vision loss. The only way to know for sure if his eye can be treated is to have him seen by a vet now, please take him into one right away.
