okay this has occured before, my dog has a huge bump under her eye, we don't know what it is but we think it's the pollen problem were having in georgia

[alison]

i'd go to a vet soon, in case it is something serious that it could lose an eye

It's possible it could be allergies. Some antihistamines would help with that, like Benadryl.My first thought however is a tooth root abcess. If you lift her/his lip and look at the teeth are they shiny and white with no chip, breaks, or cracks? Or are they covered in tartar with a red gum line? Usually an abcess, or pus pocket, will form as a lump under the eye due to a bad upper tooth on that same side. Usually the largest premolar, the carnassial.A warm compress on that area may help. If the swelling doesn't resolve in a day I would take her to your regular veterinarian.

it could be a tooth that is infected. it will cause swelling under the eye. so i would get the dog to a vet as soon as you can.
