This morning we had a terrible thing happen; it is a long story, but a dog I agreed to foster grabbed her by the neck and tried to kill her. Luckily I was close enough to stick my hands in the dog's mouth and get Kia out, and as well, we were in a corner so the larger one could not shake as hard as she tried. Kia was in shock, and so was I, especially when I saw her left eyeball was completely displaced from its socket. It was so obviously painful that it was hard to pick Kia up. I called the vet's office, then a neighbour to give us a ride; they were not up, but we were at the office within a half hour. The first thing the vet said was that she would probably lose her eye, but they went ahead and they sedated her and were able to get it back into the socket and stitch it closed; still, it may not work. I am medicating her four times a day, keeping an ice compress on it and she has been curled up with me all day. She will definitely lose the sight in that eye, and I just pray she will not lose the eyeball-it will be a constant reminder of my own stupidity!
Thank God I was able to intervene before the dog killed her-this is the second time in a month a dog has attempted to shake her to death. I will not allow ANY other large dogs near her, unless I know them personally and watch them constantly. She is now fearful of them, yet she grew up with my 105 pound Pointer and they were the best of friends until he died. Last week she had four Novice Obedience Trials, and each time during the stays, she was next to a huge German Shepherd, the largest dog in the trials! She was great, but I now wonder if she will be next time.
In the last photo, the circle indicates how large the swelling (eyeball), is.

Has anyone else had a dog's eye displaced, and if so, what was the result? Is there anything else I can do to help her?
