Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! If you suspect that there could have been a traumatic injury to the eye and it looks irritated, I definitely recommend that you have Dolly evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. This could be secondary to a corneal laceration which needs to be treated as soon as possible. Good luck!
