 [ Symptoms ] my dog scratched my eyelid and it is swollen and red should i go to the eye doctor [ Disease ] oops i missed the lid part if the dog did not actually scratch your eyeball then a corneal abrasion is less likely if the dog only scratched your skin clean it very throughly and apply a topical antibiotic ointment or cream if it appears to be getting infected in spite of these home treatment efforts then you can see your medical provider yes you may have a corneal abrasion
