how do you know if your dog has a stye?

how do you know when your dog has a sty? and how do you get rid of it, any treatments? I have been using a warm cloth and salt water at the moment, it looks fine, but I dont want it to get bigger, shes been acting her normal self, she is a puppy about 8-9month old, how do dogs get it anyways?

Answer #1

thanks is going down now :)

Answer #2

Is it red and kind of going into the eye? Because if it is it is most likely cherry eye and will have to be removed by special medication or surgery if it’s serious.

Answer #3

You’re doing the right thing…warm compress of salt water will draw the sty to a head…that’s how they do it with people, too.

Just make sure it IS a sty.
