It sounds like your dog is experiencing some intermittent eye issues, which can understandably be concerning. The symptoms of squinting, redness, and swelling might be due to a few different causes, such as irritation from a foreign object, an allergic reaction, or even a mild infection.

Since these symptoms seem to come and go, there are a few things you can do at home to help your dog. First, gently clean the area around the eye with a damp, soft cloth to remove any discharge or debris, being careful not to touch the eye itself. It's also important to monitor your dog's behavior to see if he is rubbing or pawing at the eye, as this could indicate discomfort. Additionally, ensure that your dog's environment is free from potential irritants like dust, smoke, or strong cleaning agents. Keep an eye on any changes in the symptoms, such as increased redness, swelling, or discharge, which might suggest a worsening condition.

If the symptoms persist or worsen, it would be wise to consult a veterinarian to rule out any underlying issues that might require specific treatment. If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
