My dog was attacked and has a bleeding eye wound. Is it an emergency?

My dog Snickers was attacked this morning by our other dog who was recently spayed. (She is now agressive to our other dogs and was the one who hurt Snickers) Snickers has a wound next to his eye that is still bleeding. I'm worried it will get infected but he wont let me touch it and it is kind of worrisome.

I would take Snickers into a vet immediately. Any problems around the eye is considered an emergency because it's such as delicate and important structure. In addition, he needs his eye checked to make sure that the globe itself wasn't harmed. The fact that he won't let you touch it tells me it's hurting him. Please take him into a vet now.
