My dog was hit in the eye, is squinting, and has a film. Emergency?

Question

I accidentally hit my dog in the eye with a tennis ball. Like pretty hard. She is squinting and it seems to have a film on the bottom left of her eye, is she okay? Please I need urgent help! Pet's info: Dog | Chesapeake Bay Retriever | Female | 90 lbs

I recommend to have her examined tonight. The squinting could be due to pain but it could also be due to scratch or abrasion on the cornea which is very painful and can get worse quickly. I'm not sure what the 'film' is since I can't see it but it sounds concerning as well. Best to play it safe with Belle. I hope she feels better quickly and please feel free to post any additional questions.
