Fortunately, we have a happy ending. We treated her by rinsing the eye with clean water, then applied opthalmic gel and a gauze bandage secured with duct tape. Also gave her three shots of penicillin. after about 5 days, the big red swollen areas shrunk away. She now has a complete but blank eyeball, and is none the worse for the experience.
I cannot figure what really happened.

There is just a red swollen area where her eye was. It was clean, so we drenched the area in iodine, and covered it with a gauze pad, held on with duct tape. I'll check it tomorrow. Anything I am missing or should look for?
