Swollen unopened puppy eye?
I am caring for an orphaned puppy. He went to the vet at 5 days, and he's 8 days today. Last night he had bad diarrhea, and this morning a bloody stool. He's been very listless today, and it worried me, so I took him to the vet. Until today he had been thriving. The vet did a parvo test and gave him a shot of antibiotics, and he's perked up a little... he's eating better now, but I pointed out that one of his eyes was VERY swollen, and the eyes are not opened yet. He didn't give me any information on it.. he sort of just blew it off. It is really bothering me, because I'm wondering if that's where his infection is... if the infection is in his eye, shouldn't they open it or something and clean it? I'm not sure, and I can't find any information on the web. I'm considering taking him to a different vet tomorrow for it. Any and all help is appreciated.
