My puppy's eye has a red spot from a cat scratch. Is it serious?

If Honey has a scratch on her eye, she should be evaluated by a veterinarian for treatment. I recommend having eye problems treated as soon as possible to avoid long-term changes in vision. Your vet can put a stain in Honey's eye to help determine if the cornea is scratched. If it is scratched, she will likely need topical antibiotics and other medications to help the eye heal. Please do not allow Honey to rub at her eye as she could cause more damage before you get her into the vet. Good luck to you and Honey.

It seems like your dog has a corneal ulceration, which requires an immediate check up and treatment. The check up is essential to be able to determine the depth of the ulceration and decide appropriate treatment. Eye drops versus surgery are the two treatment options. Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further. Please find the time to give us a feedback about the consultation as that will be used to improve our service.

Unfortunately, Daisy can't wait until Friday to see a vet. Because the eye is such a delicate and important structure, any injury to it should be considered an emergency. That's because leaving it untreated can lead to vision loss. Because she's suffered a scratch to her eye, it can easily become infected and lead to an ulcer. Daisy needs to see a vet right away. If you can't take her, I would find someone to take her for you. If money is a problem, I can give you some resources that may help you afford a vet. You can see if your vet accepts payment plans, if there is a low cost clinic in your area, or you can apply for Care Credit online. There is also an organization called Red Rover that give grants for treatment of sick animals, and you can see if you qualify for one of their grants. Best Friends also has a list of resources that offer financial assistance on their website. http://www.humanesociety.org/animals/resources/tips/trouble_affording_pet.html?credit=web_id91754962 https://www.redrover.org https://www.carecredit.com http://bestfriends.org/resources/financial-aid-pets http://lessonsfromaparalyzeddog.com/when-pet-owners-cant-afford-veterinary-bills/ Please take Daisy into a vet ASAP.
