Pet's info: Dog | Boxer | Male | neutered | 75 lbs
This morning I noticed that my 4 year old boxers eye was swollen and also has red bumps on his chests and groin area. He is fixed but it seems that his privet area is red and swollen. He has not changed food or treats, and no sign of fleas on him or my other dogs.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Berkley. He may be experiencing an allergic reaction. It could be to something in his diet (even if nothing new has been introduced) or environment. If he experience severe facial swelling or difficulty breathing, then he will need to see an emergency veterinarian today. Otherwise, he should see his regular veterinarian tomorrow to determine if this is the case and if he needs treatment. I hope this information helps!

He may be having an allergic reaction from getting bitten or stung by something or rubbed his nose against something to cause an irritation. Try to clean the area and flush his eye with saline eye drops to help. You can give an over the counter antihistamine such as benadryl to help If you notice any discharge or any swelling or hives, then i would get him seen by your vet as this is a sign the reaction is getting worse or there is an infection.

According to the history it sounds like it is an allergic reaction, because of the swelling of the eye i would recommend taking him to the vet ASAP in order to get an anti histamine injection that will help reducing the swelling from the allergic reaction.

I am so sorry to hear about your puppy! He definitely needs to see a veterinarian as soon as possible to evaluate this eye. The shifted appearance could be due to a periorbital swelling or damage to the extraocular muscles or nerves affecting the eye. I would get him in right away to ensure the best outcome possible!

Thank you for providing a picture of Squishy's eye! From the picture, it looks as if he may have a problem with his third eyelid, not a stye. It appears that the third eyelid is quite swollen, and this can be a sign of trauma to the eye or an eye infection. I would have him seen by a vet today if possible or first thing Monday. It's very important to have any eye problem checked out promptly because leaving them untreated can lead to vision loss. The vet can diagnose what is causing this and can treat it. I hope this helps!
