Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! While it is unlikely that she will go blind, that is possible if it hit her in the eyes. For that reason, it would be best to have her evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment if you are concerned. Otherwise, she may be ok. Signs of blindness tend to be obvious and mostly just stumbling and not knowing the way when called. Have a good night! I hope she is fine!
