Need some advice - Damn dog scratched my eye

[General of Darkness]

It wasn't Enzo but Shelby and we were just playing yesterday and her nail scratched my eye. Hurt like fuck all night, and today it's better but fuck me, my eye is red as hell from rubbing it because every time I blink it hurts like shit. I tried visen and it just makes it burn. I have no issues with vision, just don't know what to do because I've got shit to do.

Hit an urgent care and have a doc take a look at it.

yes, have the doc look at it, vision is nothing to fuck with


when you injure the eye (cornea?)

feels like you have something in the eye, like a hair....

everytime you blink, you feel like something is lodged there

had that in high school

anyway, they put some weird yellow dye in my eye, looked at the tear, and then gave me some stuff for the irritation

Dude I'm in L.A. and a tax payer, you don't go to urgent care.

General, just go visit your local ER. Best be safe. I just walked in one time when a moth flew in my ear. They thought I was on drugs, until they found the moth flapping away on my ear drum.

Don't take any chances and just get it looked at.

All the best.

Cornea should normally heal up in 24 hours unless it's very serious. Use that as a gauge. Good luck!

Go to emergency and say......"No hablo Ingles"......and everything will be for free.

Like everyone else said, go have it looked at by a pro.

[mamboni]

Failing having a pro look at it, I would:

take pain killers
flush eye every hour with colloidal silver
take 2000 mg vitamin c every 6 hours
take a strong B-complex
cover eye from light to rest it
try to relax and not think about the pain


Symptomatic improvement is a good sign - sounds like a corneal abrasion - very very painful. It will heal quickly but you must prevent infection.

Put booties on the dog if you are going to play around. No need to have it happen a second time.
