Pet's info: Dog | American Pit Bull Terrier | Male | unneutered
We can not afford to take out dog to the vet right now. I took my dog for a walk earlier and I fear he may have brushed his face a against something. What home remedies would be best for a red sort of swollen eye on a pitbull?

Place an e-collar (cone) on him to prevent rubbing or pawing. A cool compress may decrease swelling. Ideally, he should be examined by your veterinarian to diagnose and treat any trauma to the eye to prevent permanent damage or loss of vision. Legally, we can't recommend any medications without examining him physically. Discuss payment plans or alternative financing, such as CareCredit (www.carecredit.com), with your veterinarian.
