Default Droopy Eyes?!

One of my dog's eyes the other day was really droopy like the bottom eye lid was all saggy like we thought maybe somthing got in his eye and it was like blood shot, the next day it was ok, but tonight he can hardly keep his eyes open, i don;t know if he's just extreemly tierd, or somthing is wrong with his eyes, its like the bottom lid on both eyes, is saggy! he will open them all the way when he goes out side, or gets excited but the rest of the time he's walking around with eyes half shut,
has anyone had this with there dogs before? is it somthing i should worrie about, or is he maybe just really tierd?
its like he's fighting to stay awak but im not totally sure!

Can you actually see anything in his eye?? It may just be something got in his eye, probably a bit of dust or something.

Or it could be that he's fighting to stay awake... Have you noticed a change in his sleeping patterns that would cause him to be sleepy during the day/evening when he's normally active?

If it continues, and you can't figure out what's wrong, you may want to take him to the vet. My mom's dog developed 'cherry eyes' when he was under 1 year old; his tear ducts were swollen & looked infected. She waited & waited to take him to the vet though (she was hoping that it would clear up on its own), and by then nothing helped. He had 'cherry eyes' for the rest of his life.

As fast as it developed, it sounds almost like an eye infection. You did the right thing scheduling him an appt ASAP.

So Cyrus ( my dog) and i went on an adventure to the vet!
they put stain in his eyes to see if there was any scratches and stuff but there wasnt, but apperently the white part where it attaches to the corna.. clear part is really irritated and she said it almost looks like tis coming up, so she gave us eye drops to use. with antibiotics in it, he has to have it like 4-6 times a day, it was such a tiny bottle! i hope it works.

He was sooo good at the vet to, he let her check him out and everything i couldnt belive how good he was for the vet!

i think he knows we are trying to help him, so putting in the drops isnt as hard as i thought it would be!

That's good that you found out what was causing it & are now helping it. I hope it gets better.

How do you hold a dog to put eyedrops in? I have done ointment before, but never drops. Just wondering how that is done. And I am happy your dog is doing so much better!!

Usually just hold his head, best with 2 people, one to hold him and then one to put the drops in, but we just get him to come sit by us or lay by us and then my boyfriend usually holds his head and i put the drops in, he's being a bit more difficult latly but thankfully his eyes are better so we don't have to put many more drops in! When its just me sometimes i end up having him on the couch and wrestling to get them in, i had him pinned down the other day!

I think he's mad that we went and got a new bottle after he chewed his first one

When we get a drop in we just tell him he's a good boy and when we are done he gets a treat.
