My dog has an eyelash or something in her eye. Should I leave it alone? Will it work it's way out? Or is there someway gentle to get it out? It doesn't seem to be bothering her.

You can try to flush it with some plain eye irrigating solution or artificial tears. You can also gently wipe it will a piece of moistened gauze. If it begins to bother her, I would have your vet take a look at it to ensure it hasn't caused any infection or ulcer on the eye. I hope this helps!
