I'm not sure if this can happen with just one eye but every case I've heard of has been both eyes and it did not go away quickly as it did with your dog. I would keep a close watch and take your dog to the vet if his eyes continue to sweelup. Hopefully whatever it was does not come back!Lindsayhttps://www.thatmutt.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3030368038490158017.post-83687865451535809912018-11-05T21:26:33.610-05:002018-11-05T21:26:33.610-05:00This happened to my dog Teddy yesterday!

It started to go down within an hour so we decided to just watch him. Completely gone by the afternoon. No swelling, color change, redness or drainage. Just a bulging white of one eye for a few hours.

When I put my dog on prednisone and slowly weaned him off over about six months, the issue did not return. He was about 2 years old then and he never had the eye issue again and lived to be 12 years old. No other medication needed for his eyes.<br /><br />Let me know if you have other questions.Lindsayhttps://www.thatmutt.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3030368038490158017.post-67451474636588147172018-10-24T20:19:39.336-04:002018-10-24T20:19:39.336-04:00Thank you so much for taking the time to write thi...Thank you so much for taking the time to write this. My 6 month old Mini Golden Doodle was diagnosed yesterday by my vet who was stumped. I actually self-diagnosed her on Google and then my vet came to the same conclusion. She then referred me to a Veterinary Eye Institute for treatment so we left with Prednisone and have to return in two weeks to follow up. They mentioned then putting her on Shay J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12113097299151251943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3030368038490158017.post-90907088513949996722018-04-24T13:23:38.221-04:002018-04-24T13:23:38.221-04:00troyy0206 -- can you tell me which Louisville Opht...troyy0206 -- can you tell me which Louisville Ophthalmologist Dr you saw?

She is also sick, vomiting, diarrhea, not eating (except grass?). She also was breed this past week and hopefully is pregnant. Researching Prednisone, it can't be given during pregnancy.
