Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Baylee boo! I would have Baylee seen by your Vet today. I worry that she has a scratch on her cornea or inflammation secondary to being hit in the eye by the plant. When it comes to eye injuries it is best to have the pet seen as soon as possible. A scratch on the cornea is treated with antibiotic drops or ointment in the eye and inflammation is treated with pain medications and steroids. I hope this hope and I wish Baylee boo a speedy recovery!
