That sounds like Dodsie may have burned her eyes. This is likely painful and requires treatment. I recommend to have her seen today by a veterinarian. The doctor will need to stain her eyes to look for burns on the cornea. Medications will depend up the exam findings and stain results. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions.
