My puppy's eye pupil is small after an accidental hit. Is he okay?

Question

Made a mistake and hit my husky puppy, Blaze 2 months old, in the eye and his pupil went very very small in his left eye. Right eye was completely fine. I don't see any redness in his "injured" eye and he is acting completely fine. Heard that was normal. But should I be concerned? Pet's info: Dog | Siberian Husky | Male | 2 months old

Pupils will change in size frequently depending on the amount of light and other stimuli. Also, the right and left pupils can be different sizes at the same time. You should check Blaze's eye in about 30 minutes to make sure that the pupil has returned to normal size. You may want to do this in a dimly lit room since this will make the pupil bigger. Do not shine a light into his eye since the pupil with automatically contract and become smaller. If his pupil is bigger and is changing in size, you do probably do not need to be concerned. You should also watch Blaze's eye over the next day or so for any redness or swelling. If you notice any of these signs you should take Blaze to your veterunarian.
