Eye Out of Socket

The eyeballs are tightly anchored in sockets of protective bone, and tension from the eyelids holds them in place. But a blow to the head or a fight with another animal can cause a cat’s or dogs eye to pop out. This is especially common in flat-faced dogs such as pekingese and Shih Tzus because their eye sockets are so shallow. A displaced eyeball looks awful-it usually remains attached and just protrudes, although trauma such as a car accident can force it out so it lies upon the cheek-but it isn’t life-threatening. 
Protect the injured eye. An eye that’s out of the socket must be treated by a veterinarian. Before leaving the house, place a gauze pad or lint-free cloth that’s been soaked with lukewarm sterile saline.
