Swelling under the eyes in dogs can indeed be concerning and may stem from various causes such as infections, allergic reactions, or injuries. Given that your dog is experiencing swelling, redness, and discharge in the eye, it's important to address these symptoms promptly.

At home, you can start by gently cleaning the area around your dog's eye with a warm, damp cloth to remove any discharge. It's crucial to ensure that your dog doesn't scratch or rub the eye, as this could exacerbate the condition.

However, given the symptoms of swelling, redness, and discharge, close monitoring is essential. If you don't see any improvement within a day or two, or if the condition worsens, it would be wise to seek veterinary care. Eye issues can progress rapidly and may require specific treatments such as antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications.

If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out. Thank you.
