Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Nikki! She could have been scratched in her eye. I highly recommend she sees a Vet right away to check for a scratch and get medications. Corneal ulcers can worsen with out treatment. I hope this helps and I wish Nikki the best!
