My dog's eye is red, half-closed, and keeps happening. What's wrong?

Question

Hello, I was out with my 1year old rottweiler. As soon as we came home I saw that her left eye was half closed. Lower eyelid was little bit down than usually and her whit of the eye was little bit red. After +- 30minutes her eye looked good. But After another 20minuts it happened again. And it still repeated. At this time I see that her other (right) started do the same. I wiil appreciate any information what can happened.

It is possible she has been irritated by something out walking or may have scratched the eye with a thorn or twig (the other eye will often react as a reflex to pain and irritation). You could try flushing the eyes with cooled previously boiled water to remove anything which is still in them such as dust but if the squinting continues you should get the eyes checked for injury and ulcers by your vet
