Hi, thabks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!

Poor Princess! The pictures are blurry but I am very concerned about her left eye. I'm worried about proptosis (eye has popped out of the socket) or glaucoma. Both are emergencies.

I recommend that you take Princess to the emergency room.

Good luck!
