Puppy bit me, I accidentally hit his eye. Is his eye injured or okay?

Question

Hi, my puppy bite me and made me bleeding; I tryed to correct him and give him a tap in the nose with a chew bone but instead accidentaly I hit his eye, he blinked for seconds but return back to the normality, no red eye and still bitting everything. Should I be worried? Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Male | unneutered | 3 months and 22 days old | 8 lbs

If the eye does not swell or does not look injured or starts to tear or have a discharge, then likely there was no harm done. You may want to teach your puppy the word "no" instead of hitting or tapping it when it bites. This is normal play behaviour and one way to avoid that is to never get into the situation where your puppy gets tempted to bite you. Your puppy is also starting to teethe, and will want to chew more. You may want to get a chew toy such as a bull pizzle which it will be allowed to bite rather than you.
