If the eye is out of its socket, it should be treated as an emergency. In addition, scratching or pawing of the cornea, abnormal growth of eyelashes, and inverting of the eyelids can lead to eye injuries. Much like in humans, eye injuries often occur when a small object enters or becomes embedded in the eye. At worst, the eye may even be out of its socket. Tear production is also a frequent sign of problems, as is watery, green, or yellow discharge. If you see your dog squinting, avoiding bright lights, and excessively blinking, examine her eyes. Never gamble with your dog's eyesight - always seek immediate treatment, even for minor eye injuries. Even the smallest eye injury (a tiny scratch, for example) can develop into an infected wound and loss of vision.
