My dog has swollen eyes, won't open them, is lethargic, and shivering.

Question

Charlotte woke up with swollen eyes this morning. She won't open one (her right) and only squints through the other (her left). She's a bit lethargic, and has the chills. Pet's info: Dog | Pug | Female | spayed | 2 years and 9 months old | 17 lbs

Hello, I'm sorry to hear Charlotte isn't feeling well. Holding the eyes closed (blepharospasm) is a sign of eye pain. I'm concerned that she may be acting lethargic and shaking because of the discomfort. I'd recommend taking her to see a vet as soon as possible. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
