Dog's eye swollen and bulging after barking. Is it an emergency?

Thank you for providing pictures of Lorraine's eye, she is adorable! What is showing in her eye is her third eyelid, and given that it has worsened over the day, yes, I do recommend an emergency appointment. The eye is such a delicate and important structure that any problem with it should be considered an emergency. This is because leaving it untreated can lead to vision loss. It could be that she has an eye infection or could have injured her eye causing the third eyelid to come out, but a vet can make the correct diagnosis and give her a treatment for it. Please take her to the vet tomorrow. Best of luck!

This looks like a swelling of Poppy's conjunctiva as opposed to the eye itself. It could be due to an allergic reaction or infection such as conjunctivitis. She will need eye drops and antinflammatories to settle this down so go to your vet as soon as you can. In the mean time pressing a cooled tea bag on the outside of the eye can provide some relief.

It could be Beryl has injured her eyes or has something in them. It could also be allergies. Any eye problem should be considered an emergency because leaving it untreated can lead to vision loss. I would take her into a vet now. Best of luck.

Oh my, poor Lamar! I can certainly see the prominent swellings of both of his eyelids. One of the most common causes of eyelid swelling is from an allergic reaction. The tricky part with allergic reactions is that we often aren't able to figure out the trigger - whether he may be reacting to an insect or spider bite, pollens outside, or countless other things. However, since it looks as though Lamar is missing a good bit of hair around his eyelids (although this could also be pigment change and some glare in the picture), other possible causes could be infectious issues, like mange. Certainly other skin lesions or itching would make this scenario more likely. Since it's most concerning that he's possibly experiencing an allergic reaction with swelling on his face, you really should take him to an emergency vet right away for evaluation and treatment. Some allergic reactions can progress to anaphylaxis, which can cause severe breathing difficulties. I hope that he's feeling better soon!

If the eye itself is swollen, not the skin around it, then no it will not go away. The pressure of being trampled could have caused Baby's eye to exit the orbit and that can lead to blindness without prompt treatment. Baby needs to go to the nearest open vet clinic immediately.

This is an emergency. If the eye ball is deviating to the side suddenly then there may be a serious neurological problem or your dog suffered a trauma that may have damaged the eye or the muscles that are keeping the eye ball in the right place. Please take your dog to a veterinarian right now, as this could compromise her eye sight and also may be very painfull.\\.

It could be that Lovey is suffering from an allergic reaction causing these swollen bumps around his body. It could be an environmental allergy causing these bumps, but without seeing him in person, I can't say for certain. I am concerned he now has a swollen eye, as he could have injured his eye or have an eye infection. To answer your question, yes definitely take him into the vet today. The eye is such a delicate and important structure that any problem with it is considered an emergency. That's because leaving it untreated can lead to vision loss. I would take him into the vet today. Good luck, I hope this helps!

Oh no, poor Bella! Unfortunately this can happen in certain breeds of dogs that have a shorter than normal muzzle. You need to get her into a vet right away for this. Any problem with the eye should be considered an emergency, as leaving it untreated can lead to vision loss. Her eye can be saved if you act quickly and get her into a vet now. Please take her into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website.

I would recommend getting this assessed by an emergency vet urgently - it may be swollen due to an allergic reaction but there may also be blood or an abscess pushing on the eye which could damage the eye long term. A cold compress held gently above the eye may help to reduce swelling whilst you organise a vet check

I consider any swelling of the eye to be an emergency. It may simply be a touch of conjunctivitis but potentially there could be damage to the cornea, or a similar more serious injury. You can soothe the eye with a cooled tea bag for immediate relief, but I would have it checked asap.
