Is there anything I can do at home for my pup, and his swollen eye?

My male 4m, old American bulldog has one eye swollen shut this morning.

Late last night, I thought it might be allergies and gave him 25 mg of Benadryl and he whined when his mouth was opened.

He's not eating and barely drinking.

What can I do, its Thanksgiving and there are no vets open!






Hi
Even during the holidays there should be an emergency veterinary clinic/hospital open somewhere within your area and I strongly recommend that you get your pup to one right away.

It sounds as though he has an infection of some sort, and it's affecting his whole body. He needs a professional examination and treatment, most likely with antibiotics and maybe fluids and even corticosteroids.

Please just find a vet right away and get him help, this isn't a situation you can remedy yourself. Best of luck, hope he makes a full recovery.
