My little Pom took a tumble down the stairs and I didn't think anything of it since he jumped up and went about his business, but now I've noticed the white of his eye is complete blood red. What can I do for him? He doesn't act any different

You Pom may have bruised his eyeball. It is called sclera hemorrhage. I would suggest a veterinary exam to confirm it and I would suggest to test the eye for corneal scratches or damage. The veterinarian may prescribe eye meds for comfort and possibly prevent infection I’d cornea is damaged. Thank you for contacting us on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach
