Pet's info: Dog | Bulldog | Female | spayed
My bulldog suddenly came out with swollen eyes. Noticed it properly yesterday evening. I’ve been placing a warm flannel over her eyes and this evening she’s started to get irritated by her eyes possibly because they’re watery

It looks to me like Hope is likely having an allergic reactions. Try giving her an over the counter antihistamine for the next 3 days. You can apply a cool compress to the eyes as well which will give some relief. If the swelling is not going down within 24 hours, take her to the vet for a steroid injection. Most of the time you will never know why this happened, its assumed a spider bite but you can't say for sure. Please post again with any further questions.
