Our yorkie's eye is swollen - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Kristy2009 · 05-20-2012, 09:37 AM

Our Yorkie Kristy is 2 1/2. She is full of fun. This morning her left eye seemed a bit swollen and she seemed to be pawing at it. I noticed a little bit of a bump above the eye like maybe a stye or something.
I just don't know if it's something I should be nervous of and take her to the Vet right away?
Advice?
Thanks from a newbie to the site!

I wouldn't mess around with the eyes - to the vet a.s.a.p.

Standard rule of Thumb: Never ever guess with eye problems to the Vet tomorrow. Some conditions get worse very quickly and need immediate treatment.

With eye issues, I never wait...if it is during the night or on a weekend, I go to the EC. Those things can get bad quickly!

OP, IF this is just a bump on the eyelid, you might be alright until tomorrow...BUT if her eye itself is irritated, I would not wait.

Thanks all for the replies. She seems better but still a bit swollen so I'm going in the AM. She's still pawing at it so I know she's not herself! Will keep you all posted.

It was a bee sting! I posted on a different thread as I am new to the site I guess my posts have to be approved?

Her eye is back to normal...she's a trooper LOL

Our Aussie got stung by the eye by a bee or wasp the other week. We didn't see it happen but the way they chase those things, it's bound to happen occasionally. I gave her a dose of Benadryl and it got better pretty quickly. She did look sad though that day.
