My dog's eyes are swollen and he's sluggish. Is it an emergency?

Question

Got home from work and both my dogs eyes are swollen almost shut. When he slightly opens them it looks as though hes not looking straight or they are lazy. Seems sluggish maybe a little sick. Pet's info: Dog | American Pit Bull Terrier | Male | unneutered | 14 years old | 75 lbs

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question. Poor Timbo. It may be he has injured his eye, gotten something in them, or has an eye infection. Any eye problem is considered an emergency because leaving it untreated can lead to vision loss. I would take him into a vet immediately to get treated. Best of luck.
