dog-eye concern

Question
I have a three year old golden/mix (river). Tonight I was shocked to see his right eye shifting off to one side while his other eye was still looking right at me. His eye does seem to look irritated and his eyelid is slightly closed more on the right side.

I am going to get him to the vet as soon as they can see him tomorrow - I am just concerned and was wondering if you have heard of this before?

FYI
He was at the vet last week because of loose stool - it turned out to be bacteria in his stool - we think he may have gotten sick while he was staying at the kennel. He is currently on:
500mg Flagyl twice a day, Panacur once a day for three days then stop for two weeks - once a day for three days then stop for two weeks - once a day for three days - then stop & Amforal Tabs 1 1/2 tablets twice a day.

Answer
Hi Heather,  It almost sounds like something neurological is going on.  Could he have gotten hit in the head or hurt himself somehow?  I would definitely have the vet check it out when you see him.  His medicine should do anything like that.  Hope this helps,

Dawn
