i called the emergancy vet and asked what i could use to treat her, i went to walmart and got it, called back and i asked if i should give more or less, because of puppys, They freaking told me to call my vet, becuase they know more about her then they do. WTF! i'm bringing her in the house now, her right is swelled to where she can barley see.

The "haw" of her eye is probably showing, or swollen (it's called "cherry eye") because of the stress of being moved, or just the stress of going into labor... She could have some slight reaction to the bed change, but I doubt it. We got an older dog who caused herself to get cherry eye in both eyes because she was so stressed out about being in a new place. Sent her home and she was fine, her eyes went back to normal within a couple days.

Don't put anything in her eyes, or give her anything this close to whelping. That is unless you want to chance something happening to the puppies.

If it looks like this, than it's "cherry eye"
It's not an emergency worth taking her to the vet for, and is caused by stress. It's a prolapse of the third eyelid. Don't go over medicationg her or stressing her out and risk loosing the puppies.
