Thank you for submitting your question regarding Freya. The picture appears to show a small wound below her eye. Is there any way that should have hurt herself? I do recommend that she sees a veterinarian. If she has an eye infection (I cannot tell from the picture), then pawing at the eye can make a wound below it. The veterinarian will examine her and determine if she needs a medication such as an antibiotic eye ointment or drop. I hope this information helps!
