Why are my dog’s eyes swollen, red, and unable to open?
Swollen, red eyes that won't open can result from eye infection, allergies, trauma, or other eye conditions, so a vet visit to confirm the cause is recommended. If a clinic isn't immediately accessible, clean the eye with a damp towel and apply a pet-specific antibacterial eye drop or erythromycin ointment while monitoring for improvement. If there's no relief, stop the medication and see a vet promptly.

Two small bumps have appeared near my dog’s eyes and I don’t know why; they don’t seem to hurt or itch, and the dog doesn’t scratch them
The bumps may come from dietary heat, pathogens, parasites or insect bites, or folliculitis, but if they're painless they're most likely from dietary heat or tissue growth. Ease dietary heat with light food and more water, and if the bumps persist or grow, have a vet examine them.
What eye drops should I use for a dog with red, tearing eyes?
Redness and tearing are mainly from eye inflammation, so a pet-specific anti-inflammatory eye drop may help. Stop the drops and see a vet if symptoms persist, since inflammation can have different causes such as bacterial or viral infection. Bacterial cases often respond to drops containing lysozyme or oxytetracycline, but poor response means another cause needs identifying.
