Poor puppy. : ( Well if she suffered trauma to the cornea causing internal hemorrhage, then she should be seen by your vet right away for treatment. It is a good sign that she is otherwise happy, so I would recommend taking her in tomorrow if possible for an appointment to get this eye checked thoroughly just to make sure there is no permanent damage to the very sensitive eye structures. Hopefully she just has bruising, which can resolve over time; however that determination can only be made after a very thorough eye exam using an ophthalmoscope and an eye pressure check.
