Puppy Has Red/swollen Lips


 Share

Recommended Posts

Hi All,

With his eye lids, the vet suspects it is because he was the runt of the litter and that they were a little under formed. He wad it worse when he was a little puppy, but now, at 1 year they arent fully fixed which is why she recommends surgery. She said that he squints sometimes and his eyes are weeping which means he is in pain apparently (although he doesnt seem to be in much pain and I've seen many dogs with weeping eyes). I will hopefully be able to get a second opinion very soon, my dogs are like my kids, so it's started to worry me, especially with the guilt trip from the vet.

Oh, and the vet said that it looks like a bug has bitten him (because he seems to think its fun to chase things with stingers) and its cased a reaction.

The redness has seemed to spread to the other side of his nose - but is no longer as red, it's more pink...

Any ideas? Should I be keeping him inside just incase something outside is setting him off?

the vet has given him anti inflammation tablets... This morning he woke up and it's looking better...

I think I am just being a worry wort. The redness has gone down and the side it spread to last night has almost disappeared.

False alarm I think. If its not better by tomorrow afternoon I'll go and get the anti biotics that are waiting at the vet just incase. But I'm hoping that he will be ok without them.
