Dog's eye looks sideways after a fight. Is it injured? What to do?

Hi there and thank you for using pet coach to address your concern. You may have caused some inflammation or direct trauma to some facial nerves leading to symptoms of horners syndrome. This typically resolves with time. To be on the safe side, I would recommend having this evaluated by a veterinarian so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.

Poor girl. It is hard to say if this is a concern without seeing the eye itself. Please repost your concern with 3 uploaded images of Dora's eye so that we can review it and give you our opinion moving forward. We look forward to hearing back from you soon. Take care!

I agree that Semper needs to be examined today. Since he is aggressive, he needs to be sedated to be safely examined. No one wants to be injured. I recommend to call another vet and tell them Semper bites and that he needs to be sedated for an exam and treatment. You may need to go to an emergency clinic for treatment as they are better staffed and can handle a same day sedation in general. Eye injuries typically need medications and an elizabethan collar.

I am so glad Buckshot came home. It is hard to tell what happened to him while he was away from home but that injury looks pretty serious and needs to be examined by a vet as soon as possible. He could have injured it a number of ways. The big concern, is if he was struck by a vehicle he may have further injuries that are not visible to you. An impact can cause serious internal injuries that may not cause immediate death or notable Illness to an untrained person but are serious nonetheless. Please, get Buckshot examined by a vet as soon as you can. Better safe than sorry. It’s too bad our dogs can’t tell us what they have been through. I hope everything is minor and he heals up quickly.

I see what you mean, Ace's eye looks really bad in the picture. It could be he has a severe eye infection or has injured his eye. Any eye problem is an emergency because leaving it untreated can lead to vision loss. Please take him into a vet immediately to get this diagnosed and treated. Best of luck.

Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It is a little difficult to tell from the photo, but it looks like one of Charlie's eyes is looking upwards and is protruding slightly. This can be caused by damage to the nerves or muscles that control the movement of the eye, glaucoma, or a mass behind the eye. i recommend having Charlie seen by a vet as soon as possible, as eye conditions are frequently painful and can quickly turn into emergencies. In the meantime, you can get him an E-collar or "cone" to make sure that he does not scratch or rubt he eye, causing further trauma. I hope this helps and that all is well with Charlie!

The best treatment is to have a vet look at the eyes and check for corneal scratches and other injuries so they can be treated with a pet-approved eye medication. Keeping the dogs separated if they are constantly fighting and monitoring them when they are together can prevent further injury. An Elizabethan (cone) collar can be used to keep your dogs from pawing at the eyes as well as they heal, but treatment from your vet is required.
