Diesel was wrestling with his brother last night and ended up with a rip in his third eyelid. I packed him off to the vet this morning and after doing a dye test they said his eye did not get scratched and the rip did not affect his tear duct. We're putting drops in his eye twice a day for 2 weeks to see if it will heal. If the flap does not heal itself they will put him under and remove it so it doesn't cause any damage going forward.
I haven't ever had this happen before and the vet said he is very lucky that his eye was not scratched as well. She said they usually see at least some eye damage with these kinds of incidents.
This is what it looks like
