My dog's eye was scratched by a stray cat. Is he sick or in pain?

Question

My dog got scratched in his eye from a stray cat last night. Can he get sick from that cat. He's sleeping more and not being active like he normally does.

Your dog can develop different issues from a cat scratch on the eye. They can get conjunctivitis or an eye ulcer just to name a couple. He should see a veterinarian to have it evaluated as these types of things often require medication. Also, they can be very painful which may be why he isn't acting like himself.
