dogs swollen eye

Question
My mini doxie has a swollen eye.  It began about twenty four hours ago.  The inside corner of one eye is swollen and red.  Was wondering if I could relieve some of the problem by using human eye drops until she's able to see the vet Monday.

Thanks

Answer
Hi Lisa!

Depending on where it occurs,this can be a warning sign of parasites, heart trouble or cancer.

The eyes should be sparkly and clear.Swelling, squinting, redness or discharge could indicate eye problems such as conjunctivitis or glaucoma.
Please visit your vet and he will treat this problem.

I hope this is helpful and I wish you the best of luck!
