My cocker spaniel mix had been sleeping and just woke up with a puffy bottom eye lid on one side (photo attached). He’s acting completely normal- should I go see an emergency vet?

This could be due to an infection, or fluid build-up under the skin. If Seb is otherwise eating/drinking and acting normal, then there's no need to rush to the emergency vet. This can wait until tomorrow during normal business hours.

These type of swellings can happen with tooth-root infections, or if Seb hit his face on something earlier.

It's difficult to know how concerning this is without more information and being able to examine him, so you may consider having an online consult with one of our vets on Petcoach. This way, you can send unlimited pictures and have a text conversation with a vet.

I hope that helps and Seb gets better soon.
