My dog has eyebags. Are there home remedies or diet changes for it?

Question

My 2 year old pitbull boxer mix has eyebags. Wondering if theirs an at home treatment to reduce the size. She appears to look like she hasnt slept in a few days :\ ! But I assure you she does! She does not have discharge or pain or an infection in her eyes , just seems to be slighty puffy but not swelling. Like eyebags on a human. Any at home remedies? Or can it be her diet ? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | 47 lbs

It sounds like your poor baby has a condition called Ectropion. This is a genetic condition where the lower eyelids fold outward due to excessive skin. This condition is not caused by diet and no home remedies are available for treatment. The only treatment for this unfortunately is surgical removal of the extra skin on the lid to allow the lid to rest comfortably around the eye, removing the bag like appearance that you describe. You should discuss with your vet about surgical correction if interested. Ectropion over time can cause repeat eye infections and a dry eye condition if not treated.
