What should I do if my dog’s eye white is scratched?
First put on an Elizabethan collar to prevent scratching and worsening/infection. Eye-white scratches can cause keratitis or corneal perforation, so see a vet promptly; severe cases may need surgery. Mild cases need a long-acting anti-inflammatory injection plus antibacterial drops, stem-cell drops, and antibiotic ointment.
One of my dog’s eyes is bulging out, but the other eye isn’t – what’s going on?
From your photo, the dog's eye shows inflammation and swelling of the upper eyelid, which may be eye-membrane injury caused by inflammation, foreign-body irritation, or an allergic reaction - for instance, when the eye itches or feels like something is in it, the dog scratches with its paw and over-stimulates the area, causing eyelid swelling; this can also be triggered by an allergy to certain medications. If you cannot get to a hospital right away, first rinse the dog's eye at home with saline to wash out residual medication and inflammatory discharge, then use neomycin sulfate eye drops (such as Langdoqing) plus chlortetracycline or erythromycin ointment applied around the eye, three times a day. Monitor the dog's condition; if there is no improvement, take it to the vet promptly. Or do the simple care first, then take the dog to a veterinary hospital when you can to determine the exact degree of eye damage.

My cat was hit; what is going on, the local vet is closed, very urgent
After a cat is hit, check where it is hurt. For clear eye injury, dispersed pupils, or bleeding from the face, use antibacterial anti-inflammatory eye drops until the clinic opens; if next day shows eye blood clots, spots, or swelling from the blow, see a vet in the morning for eye exam. If the cat is otherwise normal without shaking, seizures, vomiting blood, diarrhea, or poor appetite, other organs are likely fine.
