One morning this week, Leo frightened the daylights out of us. The night before he was completely normal, as well as when we woke as much as take him out the next morning, both of his eyes were inflamed practically totally shut. It was frightening to see him like that. He was breathing fine as well as acting normal, however his eyes were just SO puffy.

The vet’s office didn’t open for at least one more hour so we tried to do a chilly compress to bring down the swelling in the meantime. We got to the vet’s office about 20 minutes before it opened, as well as when it did, they were able to take us in best away. The veterinarian inspected him out, provided him a shot to bring down the swelling, as well as told us it was an allergic reaction as well as he would be fine (PHEW).

I spent the day with him as well as his eyes slowly went back to normal. By the next day, Leo was completely back to his routine puppy shenanigans. I just desire I understood what triggered the reaction so I can avoid it from happening again.

*These pictures were taken throughout the day after his vet visit. The very first was taken about 30 minutes after the vet. The second was taken a few hours after, as well as the third was taken that evening.
