Dogs, big and small, have been known to get eye injuries from playing the yard, playing with other pets or other dogs, and even when going for a walk outdoors. Whether your Keeshond is in a fight or he just gets dirt in his eye, if you notice the eye is swollen, bruised or appears to be torn call your vet immediately. Your Keeshond may have torn his eyelid or bruised it. Your vet will most likely want you to bring your dog in for an exam. If this is the case, ask your vet what you should do for your dog while on the way to the office. He may suggest taking a moist cloth and patting the eye gently to stop any bleeding. Your vet may also advise you to place a cold compress on the affected eye in order to prevent or reduce swelling. Consult with your vet Mesa, AZ for further treatment.
