Why is my dog's eye watering, discharging, and eyelid swollen?

Question

I have noticed in the last few months that my dog's left eye has days that water more than normal. about 3 months ago i took him to a vet who examined him and said it was just an allergy. the vet gave me a medicine to apply to my dog's eye for 10 days. I noticed that it has improved, but from time to time the eye has a small abnormal discharge. Today I realized that the skin that covers his left eye is slightly larger than that of his right eye. I'll send the photo so you can see. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | 1 year old | 30 lbs

I see what you are talking about. Sometimes this can be related to inflammation but there could be another reason like a foreign object trapped under the skin or a blockage in the tear duct. I recommend to have Doggie Marley examined again since this is a new development. Make sure to show the vet the picture. It looks like this is progressing so try to get it figured out quickly. I hope this helps.
