My dog, Oda, a 6-year-old pit lab mix, has had an eye infection for about 3 days. She has been to the vet and is currently on oral carprofen 75 mg every 12 hours and neo poly bac ophthalmic ointment. I'm seeking a second opinion as the vet wasn't sure if the swelling is due to an injury, bacterial infection, or yeast infection.
