Hopefully, it's nothing - but normally (normally), dogs don't squint or try to keep their eyes closed with just a bacterial infection.
I've personally had a corneal scratch and it is nearly unbearable, without medication. |
Thanks for the info! Today she's doing A LOT better, her eye looks back to normal. I think I'm still going to take her in tomarrow just to check up, she doesn't act like she's in pain, and isn't tryig to keep it closed any more. I figured it was an infection, but from your post you probably are right and it could be a scratch or something.
