It sounds like there may be some irritation to either the eyelid or the eyeitself. I'd take the dog in and make sure there isn't a corneal ulcer or abrasion going on just to be on the safe side. The vet will also beable to give an ointment to put on it to keep the pain limited. I hope he gets better soon. Good luck

It sounds like something got into his eye, and now it's hurting really bad. You had better take him to the vet to get it out, and he might need a course of antibiotics in case of infection.
Good luck!

take him to the vet. 7 is not really that old. i have a 7 year old golden retreiver, and she is very healthy and is still full of energy like a puppy. so i think you should either take the pet to the vet, or talk to the vet for advice

hmmm. maybe its allergies from the weather change... there is probably something like an eyelash or bug that he cant get out... if it continues i would suggest going to the vet.
good luck !
