Any dog bite needs to be checked by a vet immediately and needs to be treated with antibiotic to prevent any infection from occurring. Post bites infections are extremely common if antibiotics are not take, I would recommend taking Moly to the vet ASAP.

    Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This could be due to an eye injury and a corneal laceration or ulcer for instance. I highly recommend that you have him evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Further therapy would be based on the findings. Good luck and best wishes!
