We Got A Rescue Dog, And She Has Many Health Problems That We Are Dealing…
We got a rescue dog, and she has many health problems that we are dealing with (including an ear infection, lice, etc.) and something that concerns me is her left eye that is red and bulging. What possibly could it be? How should I help he? I cannot find it online. Thanks!

Daria Locher Post author Thank you so much for your help! I was concerned because when I looked up cherry eyes they looked different, but we ended up going to the vet and they said the same thing! Thanks again for your help!!
My Aussie/retriever Mix’s Right Ear Lobe Feels Like A Balloon. I Did Some Online Research…
My Aussie/retriever mix’s right ear lobe feels like a balloon. I did some online research and it says it is from a broken blood vessel. Should i have it drained or will it dissipate by itself. It is not causing her any discomfort.

Jana Yes, that sounds right, sounds like hematoma (blood pocket caused by blood pooling from broken blood vessel(s). Here is the thing:
– it can go away on its own but it could take a long time and leave the ear deformed (cauliflower ear)
– I’m quite sure it’s pretty uncomfortable and painful
– most importantly, this often happens when a dog shakes their head a lot because of an ear infection (though it could be just from accidentally shaking and hitting the ear on a table edge or something like that)So yes, I would see a vet, have him checked to make sure there is no ear infection/inflammation going on and have it treated if there is and I would have the blood pocket treated or at least evaluated.

Anonymous i wouldn’t use a corrective harness, as they can mess with a dog’s gait. maybe that’s what they were talking about?
i don’t use harnesses except for buckling them into my car. i much prefer teaching a dog to walk nicely on a flat collar.
The Vet Was Waiting For Our Puppies To Be Picked Up And That’s Why Maya…
The vet was waiting for our puppies to be picked up and that’s why Maya was not in her kennel when a mailman came in through the back door, allowing her to run out.

Debra Broccardi That is horrible! I can’t imagine how that must feel. My heart is breaking for you just reading your question. Two points I think you should consider. This may help you or hinder you, depending on your answers…but may help you with your direction.
1. Was Maya their patient at the time of the escape?
2. Did you bring Maya in with you to have the puppies examined or “picked up”? (I am not sure what this means).The point I would think you should consider is that if Maya was their patient and it was during a visit, which was still active as Maya wasn’t officially handed off to you, then you totally should approach it as the Vet having responsibility.
If you brought Maya in with you for the purpose of something else….I’m sorry to say…that I don’t believe they are anymore responsible then the mailman that walked in the door. I do hope this helps and I’m sure they’re were many more factors then what you shared…I hope this helps you a little. -
PK Dennis Sorry for your loss – at the very least you should have a conversation with your vet to find out what steps will be take that this happens to no other dog in the future (installing a gated area at that back door for example).
he sounds like he might have bloat. can you get him to an emergency vet?
If he is with you need to find an emergency vet near where ever you are as soon as possible, this could be bloat, or a blockage. Both situations are life threatening. If he is at home you need to have whomever is watching him get him to a vet.
