Want this question answered?
I had to use an eyewash after the sand blew in my face.
If the dog's eye is swollen then you need to look for redness, discharge or other signs of infection or trama. If it does not resolve in a day or two I would take the dog to the vet.
You can purchase a certified eyewash station at www.uline.com/Eyewash-Station.
Eyewash is used to get debris out of the eye. Like if your eye felt like something got into it and it was hurting then you would need to use eyewash or just rinse your eye with water to remove whatever had gotten into it.
For an eyewash solution, the measure would be one tablespoon of boric acid per one quart of sterilised water. (do not mistake deionized or distilled water. it must be sterile.)
Could be prolasped 3rd eyelid, go to vet
If this looks like the bottom eyelid is swollen it is a condition known as conjunctivitis, or cherry eye. This NEEDS medication or it will get worse and possibly blind the animal. Please take this dog to see a vet.
To flush dangerous chemicals out from a contaminated eye.
Swollen face right under the eye and will eventually drain puss from a hole under the eye
Eyewash bottles are suitable for use only between the time you get a corrosive chemical in your eye and when you get to an eyewash fountain. Asbestos is not a corrosive chemical. If it gets into your eye, it will not be more damaging than other forms of dust, so there is no need for such a device, and little value.
it could be from a bee sting or a bug bite
Take your dog to a vet to see what is wrong with your dogs eyes.
