A dog’s eye that will not open after being struck is likely local inflammation and swelling from the external impact. In this case, take the dog to a nearby veterinary hospital promptly to confirm the cause and severity and begin targeted treatment.
If a visit is not convenient right away, give the dog pet-specific oral anti-inflammatory and pain medication, and use a pet-specific antibacterial eye drop alongside, to ease the discomfort.

← My kitten has formed but soft stools with blood, normal diet and good spirits; this started after a food change. It had digestive issues before and took probiotics, and recently keeps scratching itself — is it parasites or just a gut problem?
This morning I saw a bit of red liquid in his cage and on the bedding; his spirits are normal and he eats and drinks fine, but he's new and scared of me so I won't pick him up. He hasn't eaten red food, only some seafood and beans lately. Could that be why? →
