  It could be that Luna has an eye infection or may have injured her eye. Any eye problem needs to be checked out by a vet promptly as leaving it untreated can lead to vision loss. Please take her into a vet today.

  Hello, thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. It is very difficult to make a recommendation without at least seeing a photo of the eye. All I can tell you without seeing a photo is that if the eye looks worse to you then Millie needs to see a vet. Eyes are very delicate and can go from bad to worse very quickly to the point where she could lose not only her vision but the actual eye itself. I consider eye problems emergencies so I suggest you get her to a vet as soon as possible. Best wishes.

  Unfortunately there is no picture attached to your post, but I always consider any eye problem an emergency. That's because leaving it untreated can lead to vision loss. I'm concerned by your description that Kairi's eye looks bad, and I think having her seen tonight would be best. I hope this helps.
