Hi.

Today our 2 year old staffy can hardly open his eyes. They don't appear to be swollen but this has never happened to him before. We have been gently wiping them with warm salty water but am wondering if there is anything else we should be doing?

If it is no better by morning we are planning on taking him to the vet but any suggestions for the meantime?

TIA

Angela

Poor thing.

I dont have any other suggestions other than what you have been doing.

Do you have cats?? One of my cats scratched our dogs eye and it was hard for him to open his eye... owchie.

Hope all goes well todayat the vet?
