My dog’s eye got scratched by a cat today. I went to the vet and he said it’s a corneal scratch and gave me an antibiotic and some eye gel.. but I think it looks quite red and blurry and she has a hard time keeping it open.. Do you think I should ask for a second opinion or is this a normal simptom ?

That is a normal symptom. Please use the medication exactly as directed and the eye should look better in a day or two. If not then absolutely take her in for a recheck. Eye injuries are serious so I’m glad you got immediate treatment. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Masha.
