Help! My mom got hot water in my dog’s eye and didn’t flush them out! What symptoms of damage do I look for? Is she going to be blind because of this?!! I don’t want her to go blind!!

Watch for redness, swelling, discharge from the eye, or Zoe keeping her eye closed a lot. Also watch for rubbing her eye. If you see any of those signs, get her into a vet immediately. She may be ok, however.
