Rapidly Worsening Third Eyelid Swelling in a Dog With Lymphoma
by Chris
(Sarnia, ont)
Tumor on the left side of his neck. Two days after the tumor showedf
It self the twsr gland popped out a bit i never had a dog with cherry eye,
So not knowing what it is i searched the net and came across Horners Syndrome and was sure it was that.
I was wrong its deff Cherry Eye. So now its day five and i lost two days being wrong and within the five days
It went from a little red puffy one to completly covering his left eye.
Not its starting to bleed a but and the eye itself is bulging out a bunch and us rock hard.
Hes making progress with the lymphoma but un the morning i begine the protocol for shrinking the tumor.
I freaking right out cuz of his eye, even more then the cancer. What i need to know is going to loose his sight? If once the tumor shrinks will it start to go down, what natural thing cam i do for it to reduce sweeling and fight against infection,? He shows no sighnscof pain yet, but i also have him in hemp oil/coconut oil along with the budwig diet. Do u think this is painfull fir him?
PLEASE HELP!!!
We're sorry you're going through this. A third eyelid that swells quickly to cover the eye in a dog with lymphoma may not be ordinary cherry eye: lymphoma can involve the tissues around the eye. An eye that is bulging, rock hard and bleeding is an emergency, because it may be painful, the cornea can be damaged, and pressure inside the eye can rise.
Please have his eye examined right away by your vet or the oncology team, and ask whether he needs pain relief, lubricating medicine to protect the cornea, or treatment for pressure in the eye. Shrinking the lymphoma may reduce the swelling, but only an exam can tell what's causing it. Please don't rely on oils or supplements for this.
