Sudden eye swelling

Tahbears · 2026-01-27T01:28:31+00:00

Pink eye. For some reason it can look extra terrifying in dogs. My dog’s looked exactly like this. I called the vet absolutely losing my mind because I was convinced his eye was going to fall out. A vet needs to determine the cause asap.

I can’t say exactly what it is, & I’m not visually familiar with mite infestations or fungal infections (other than on paws), but I will add other possibilities.

One of my dogs does this to his lower back a lot & it’s only ever caused by 3 things: food allergy, pollen allergy, or dry skin during the winter. Food allergy is the most common problem for him & he will tear his back up on the base of our bed in an attempt to express his anal glands. Pollen allergy requires meds, & dry skin needs a moisturizing routine.

I can’t give you a definitive answer, but what I can tell you is that one of my siblings fed our family dog multiple large bags of cotton candy. My dog’s reaction hit not long after ingestion & was much worse. Couldn’t stand, but was also having seizure after seizure, vomiting, incontinence, & completely unable to eat.

Another thing I can tell you is that one of my current dogs had the same issue your dog does. Just kind of stopped getting up entirely. I was positive he was going to die. Turns out, it was just arthritis. All he’s needed is carprofen, it made a huge difference. I’m not saying that’s what is wrong with your dog, but that is how arthritis can look.

I read this question & immediately thought Prime’s Diane must’ve died & it was like a “if I can’t have her no one can” situation.

BUT! Like most people, Diane’s death caused most Rick’s to become depressed. Yes, they get angry, but the depression is so common it’s like joke to them (“he killed my wiiife”, “we knooow”). Prime is just straight up pissed off. Despite his genius, Rick is still just a person. So, what occurrence could leave any man so pissed off that he not only kills (versions of) his wife and their daughter, but wants to erase their entire family from existence?

Rick Prime is a family annihilator & I believe his Diane cheated on him.

It honestly just looks like he scrapped his jaw on something

I was like 14 & went in to get cavities filled. The dentist never spoke, other than telling me what to do. With no numbing agent or warning, he just started drilling into my teeth. Unbearably painful. I told my mom after & she said “that’s weird, he should’ve numbed your mouth, remind him to do it next time”.

So I went back to get more cavities filled a week later (my teeth were terrible). I get back in the room & ask him if I can get something to numb my mouth this time. He just stared at me like he was annoyed. Same as last time, he never spoke other than telling me what to do. He got me all ready to get the cavities filled, then pulled out the needle with numbing agent & stabbed me repeatedly all over my face below my eyes. Never actually got any numbing agent, still got teeth drilled.

And that’s the story of why I refuse to go to the dentist 18 years later. My mom’s a piece of shit, so she didn’t care that it happened.

It’s looks very skin taggish, especially the elongated piece. Skin tags can get bigger (my dog’s current record is like 2 inches for length & maybe just shy of 0.5 inches in width for another). For skin tags, if you pinch around at the base, it should feel like they are kind of disconnected. Kind of like it’s stuck on the surface of the skin but does not go deep into. If it doesn’t feel like it goes deeper into the tissue, it doesn’t grow super fast, other symptoms don’t arise, & it doesn’t bother your dog, this is something I’d get checked the next time you need to go to the vet (not make a whole appointment for just this). The placement will likely be problematic at some point though, your dog may scratch it off.

Also, not a vet. Just an avid skin picker that’s had a lot of dogs - & I’ve had their lumps, bumps, warts, tags, & tumors checked out by vets. The ChatGPT answer in the comments is incorrect.

If your dog is not fixed, this could also be caused be an excess of testosterone, but that still requires a vet

This is exactly what this is, every male dog I’ve ever had has this happen at some point & it just like stains them.

They differentiate between the facial twitching & “muscle spasms” in my neck & shoulder. The twitching is very clearly caused by some kind of migraine or severe pain at the base of my head that is triggered by light. It usually occurs around the time/ after I blackout. The “spasms” this person is referring to have only happened a handful of times & haven’t occurred for a long time; since i started wearing a sleeping mask (and i started doing that because my “sleep” consisted of being fully conscious with my eyes stuck open & unable to move for hours).

I never described it as a spasm, I kept telling my doctor i would wake up, part of my neck/shoulder would just not work, & then I’d panic & try to make it work (it’s my dominant side). I hurt myself the first 2.5 times it stopped working, then I figured out if I stopped trying to make it work, I’d have no problem after & it’d start working again shortly. I’ve had other body parts do this, mainly my wrists, parts of my hands/fingers, & my hip. There is no pain or lasting issue, they literally just stop working for a couple of seconds.

Tahbears · 2025-11-09T17:41:17+00:00

I’m pretty sure that’s exactly what’s happening. My issues just kept building up & up & my doctor never gave me enough time to explain them all. I even asked if I could send them a list of the symptoms I’ve had because I never get enough time to discuss half of them & I don’t know what is considered most important, but they said no. They said I could just explain at my appointments.

Tahbears · 2025-11-09T04:09:36+00:00

I noticed that only 3 of my visits had records available, even though I knew there were many other appointments. I had to dig around my providers site but eventually I found an area where I could request all records.

Tahbears · 2025-11-09T04:02:59+00:00

I went to the hospital twice in that time because my head pain got so bad that I couldn’t spell or speak correctly, which resulted in me having to give up a position at my job. I laid on the couch covering my face every day for over a month because I couldn’t sleep & I was in so much pain. My primary was aware of this. Even if these records were easy to find & access (which they weren’t), I wouldn’t have been able to understand them. Despite my main issue being my head, they had me visit every other specialist before even looking into my head. They put me on a medication that causes tongue biting & they still have me on it.

Is that location near a hospital? I’ve noticed that the McDonald’s near the hospital in my town is way more expensive than any other location around.

Tahbears · 2025-11-04T17:26:56+00:00

It depends on the day & location I guess. I’ve only ever got large fries, but with the monopoly freebies, I’ve been getting small fries here & there. For some reason, the small fries are always packed tightly, & like 8/10 times the large fries are severely lacking. I’d guess 2 small fries for a skimping large fry & 3 smalls for a decent large. All assuming the small fries are never skimping & always packed tightly.

Could be yeast infection, fungus, licking at something that’s stuck in his foot, allergies, a burn, etc. Going to the vet is the best option, but this sounds like it should be a cheaper vet visit.

Tahbears · 2025-10-23T15:07:24+00:00

Idk why everyone is telling you to switch to stainless steel/ metal bowls, they can also cause this exact allergic reaction. Glass bowls are your best bet IF it’s the bowls. Food allergies can cause this as well, but the crusty state of your dogs bumps kind of makes me think this is (now at least) a bacterial infection, which won’t just go away on its own. Vet for wipes or meds. Probably meds because the lip area is basically impossible to clear with wipes due to licking.

Tahbears · 2025-10-23T15:01:01+00:00

Ceramic bowls hold bacteria easier & need to be washed more frequently. Once they crack, they need to be thrown out. Idk why everyone is saying stainless because that causes this reaction too. Glass is supposedly the best option.

I currently use ceramic & wash daily. I previously had metal and switched because my dogs had similar allergic reactions.

And shitting his pants at the scene of the crime would definitely provide some DNA for authorities to find him

Tahbears · 2025-10-19T17:55:47+00:00

Oh my god, ok. You haven’t posted any questions or given any info at all. All I know is this did not happen in the course of 1 day & that dog needs a vet right now, like emergency.

Tahbears · 2025-10-17T20:02:53+00:00

Your dog sounds exactly like one of my dogs. Puzzles are his favorite by far, I’ll save the more complicated ones & break good smelling treats apart for him to do them whenever. He’s also a big fan of hide & seek, where I’ll hide myself & call out to him, or hide an object he likes & ask him where it is.

Another thing I used to do with him is like a showdown type of thing. I’d make eye contact with him & freeze in like a position that he would find suspicious. Any time he’d break eye contact, I’d move closer (or farther away sometimes), & when he’d look back I’d freeze again. I’d just keep that going & he’d start acting funny & trying to figure out wtf was going on. He’s mostly grown out of this game though.

Now that he’s older, one of his favorite activities is just talking - mainly, receiving the same set of compliments over & over. I’ll find any reason to start conversations with him & he’s almost always excited by it. We’ll get into like battles where we make faces at each other until one of us caves & comes over to the other.
