My dog is squinting and won't open her eye. What should I do?

Question

Our 11 yr old Min Pin just started squinting and it seems like she doesnt want to open her eyes for very long. Any experts see anything they can identify? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | 16 lbs

Sadly, any injuries such as a scratch on the eye would require an in-person visit as it takes special stains/tools to illuminate the eye and check for it. If Lola continues to squint, the eye is red or cloudy, or there is visible discharge, these are all things that should be checked by your vet in person. Keeping the eye clean and dry and keeping Lola from pawing at it can also help reduce irritation.
