Scratches to the eyes can be pretty common for dogs especially playful dogs that like to be outside and enjoy a good run through bushes, shrubbery, etc. If you think your dog has scratched or injured his eye then you may need to look his eye over and call the vet. Common signs of a scratch to an eye includes water eyes, excessive blinking, and tearing up more than normal. The whites of the eye may also be red or irritated. Try and look at your dog’s eye closely to see if there’s anything in the eye like dust, trash, or spec of dirt. It could be that the surface of the eye is scratched. In this case, your vet will need to use a special eye stain to reveal the scratch. What’s the scratch is revealed an eye ointment or drops can be prescribed.
