https://www.vetsurgeon.org/f/clinical-questions/13842/swollen-eyelids---puppy I&#39;ve seen a puppy (springer spaniel, male, 5 weeks old) with swollen eyelids, fluoro neg corneas and a small amount of mucopurulent discharge. Otherwise well, nothing else on clinical examination. From a litter of 10, still with breeder at present anden-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/79705?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 19 Dec 2012 11:14:49 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:3441f62a-6659-4529-a53f-3ed682946638Niall Taylor<p>[quote user=&quot;Joyce Whitehead&quot;]In my past experience, in a 5 week old springer, it is likely to turn into a juvenile cellulitis/puppy strangles. I&#39;ve seen more of these in springers than in any other breed, not sure how significant that is, but we have lots of gun dog breeders and I can never remember seeing it in a cocker, and only the odd Labrador.

Antibiotics on their own are pants, this is an immune mediate problem rather than simple infection - it&#39;s allerjik.</p> <p>Cheers,</p> <p>Niall</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/79670?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 17 Dec 2012 21:54:01 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:66a3433e-1132-4e8a-b638-1ec71d2dfc61Mark Frost<p>Fab thanks.. the more I thought about it there there wasn&#39;t anything else I could come up with, it has been started on systemic abs today and although I am not in for a few days steroids are ready and waiting if needed with those that are in the practice!</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/79668?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 17 Dec 2012 21:25:59 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:5e4bf6c2-9386-48a4-a16c-b321f7813c42Stephen Courtney<p>I&#39;ve only ever seen puppy strangles in several of a litter of weimeraner pups. Peculiar and nasty condition, in this case it was the ears that swelled rather than the eyelids though.. It remains to be seen if your case will become one of these but i would definitely use systemic antibiotics as well as fucithalmic. </p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/79666?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 17 Dec 2012 21:21:13 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:1e7465fc-62c9-4619-93c2-866228be78b6Joyce Whitehead<p>In my past experience, in a 5 week old springer, it is likely to turn into a juvenile cellulitis/puppy strangles.
