My dog's eye is swollen from the cone after surgery. What's wrong?

Question

My pup has been placed in a cone ( plastic see through) due to post surgery. My boyfriend and I left the house and when we came back her left eye was shown to be a bit swollen. I’m not sure why or what caused it but I’m thinking maybe she accidentally irritated it somehow with the cone as she has been very squirmy with it on.

It is ikely that the swelling is due to irritation, allergic reaction or mild trauma to the eye (some dogs may hurt themselves while having a cone on). You should clean the eye with warm, boiled water and monitor Milla for a few hours. If you notice that the swelling is getting bigger or Milla looks in pain you should get in touch with your vet. If it is only mild trauma or irritation the swelling should go down in the next few hours.
