We have a lot puppy, he is 7 months old. he went out in the backyard like he does everyday, all day long. he comes in and his eyes are swollen and red. I put the drops in his eyes, and have him Benadryl. He has a bump on his shoulder. I have no idea what he got into. He is still eating etc.

Hello. It does sound like Zeus is having some kind of allergic reaction. You have done all you can at home, so if he seems to be getting worse, you will absolutely need to see your veterinarian for further treatment. Hopefully, he will start doing better soon. Thanks for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
