My dog squealed after cat play. Are eye injury signs immediate?

You may not be able to see a foreign object if it gets trapped behind the third eyelid. Signs of a corneal scratch will begin as soon as it is scratched (corneal scratches hurt). A foreign object also hurts. If Zoe is holding the eye closed, squinting or you are concerned something happened, she needs to be examined by the vet today. I hope this helps.

Watch Egie for any signs that the eye itself was injured such as squinting, redness to the sclera or excessive tearing. As long as the injury is only on the skin, your pup can probably heal on his own. If the eye itself is injured, havehim examined quickly. Have him wear an elizabethan collar at all times. Until the wound is healed, no more play dates. I am not familiar with Leucillin but as long as it is safe for the eyes, you can apply the ointment for the next 1- 2 days then stop. I hope this helps.

Please take her in right away to have the eye checked. If the claw punctured her cornea it can become infected and without proper treatment she could lose sight in that eye. They will stain the eye to check for corneal damage and start the appropriate treatment right away. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Princess.

Monitor for scratching or pawing, excess weeping or tearing, redness, swelling or squinting. If any of these symptoms are noted, he needs to see a vet as soon as possible to diagnose and treat a potential eye injury. Put an e-collar on him until he goes to the doctor.

If her cornea was scratched Kale would be squinting or acting like her eye is painful. After time the eye can appear red or have discharge present. I would guess that this didn’t injure her, but if you see the signs listed above you should see your vet.

Watch for redness, swelling, discharge from the eye, or Zoe keeping her eye closed a lot. Also watch for rubbing her eye. If you see any of those signs, get her into a vet immediately. She may be ok, however.

If he is holding the eye open and has no discharge, then it maybe just infkammation. If there is a mucous discharge or he is holding the eye closed then it may have scratched the cornea and caused an ulcer. If that is the case he needs to be seen by a vet as soon as possible
