Hi Leon and thanks for posting. I am sorry to see Soooze is having an issue with her eye. When the eye is squinted like that, it may be due to an eye infection, sratch, abrasion, or trama in or around the eye or on the eye itself. A veterinarian will be able to do an eye exam to determine the cause fo the squinting and place Soooze on the appropriate medication if indicated. Scratches to the eye or cornea of the eye can be very painful and will require medication to help treat. Please take Soooze in to see her veterinarian soon!
