Gross eye

My poor dogs cannot seem to catch a break! Usually it's Allie that's messed up with some sort of allergy or injury but this time it was our rock- Otis. He woke up Friday morning with his lower eyelid sagging out away from his face and his eye was red. It looked like he had some swelling too. He acted normal though and not like he was in pain which was good. He didn't seem to mess with his eye either. His eye looked totally gross though!

Usually I jump the gun a bit and run to the vet, or even the emergency vet if it's evening. This time though I thought back to my own swollen eye that I mysteriously woke up with one day a few months ago. I treated my own eye by rinsing it out and putting a hot compress on it. I decided to do the same for Otis and resolved that if his eye was not significatly better by morning we'd be off to the vet!

Saturday morning I awoke to the usual, Otis standing over me staring down at me thinking WAKE UP ALREADY AND FEEEEED ME! Low and behold his eye was totally better, not a sign of redness or weird sagging lids.

Now as I sit here typing this he's plotting to figure out a way to crawl under my laptop and onto my lap... I'm so blessed.
