I am sorry to hear about your puppy. If the eyeball itself is bleeding that would be considered an emergency and you should seek urgent veterinary care. If the eyelid is bleeding but the wound is small, then you can try cleaning it with a mild soap (as long as the soap isn't going to get on the eyeball itself. Holding a clean cloth over the area and applying gentle pressure may help stop the bleeding. If the bleeding will not stop after applying gentle pressure then you should seek veterinary care. If the wound is deep/gaping it may require sutures or an antibiotic and you should bring Jessi to the vet as well.
