My dog has had itchy eyes for a while and I bought him some Goodwinol ointment that should arrive tomorrow. Today I woke up to his eye like this! I gave him some benadryl and I’m hoping the ointment works. Anything else I should do?

I would worry that the swelling might be due to an eyelid infection or allergic reaction, and Goodwinol would not treat these problems. It's also possible that the Goodwinol would cause irritation so close to the eye. I'd recommend seeing a veterinarian since oral medications like antibiotics might be necessary. If Zeppelin is squinting or other areas of his face seem swollen I'd recommend seeing your vet.
