My dog has a suddenly red, irritated, and bulging eye. The symptoms appeared within the past few hours, though he has had some redness in that eye before. He is still playful and tail-wagging, but it's hard for him to close the affected eye due to the bulging. He already has a vet visit scheduled for Monday, but we're hoping to determine if this needs immediate attention. What could be causing this, and what signs should we look out for that might indicate a more serious issue?

My 18-year-old Italian Greyhound had blood in his urine and was peeing a lot on 11/12. He was diagnosed with a UTI on 11/13 and was prescribed amoxicillin 100mg twice a day for 10 days. He finished the medication, but now he's peeing a lot again and has blood in his urine. He also has kidney disease. What can I do for him tonight and tomorrow to help him feel better? Is there any OTC medication that can help alleviate symptoms?
