My 13 week old lab eye lids are a little swollen...

The little lumps are not red in color, but there is a little gunk coming out of them. THey are itchy but not all the time. It also seems to be a little bit of a smell. Today i also noticed that his ears have little bumps in them. But the lumps in his ears looks like pimples, he do have puppy pimples and the vet said they are not to be concerned about. He got a vet apt in a few days but i was wondering if anyone else had this problem before....And yes he is dewormed, got his needles and has not been anywhere before...also nothing has changed in his daily activities at all.

It sounds to me as if he is having an allergic reaction to something. You said nothing has changed in his daily activities, well maybe it's something else he is allergic to or is causing the reaction. Maybe your washing detergent? Maybe he got into your laundry or something. Have you recently cut your grass? He could be allergic to the fresh mown lawn. (I've had this happen before, not with my Tiffy but with a puppy we were adopting) I don't know. Are they itchy for him? You may not agree with this, but I would give him Benadryl, maybe a half cut into half since he is still so little. We had to give the puppy Benadryl when his eyes got all red, swollen and itchy from the grass and it cleared up like the next day and the Benadryl did not harm him.
