I'd call your emergency vet and explain all this. She may have a concussion. Is it responsive if you shine a light in it? Does it contract? Don't let her sleep till you've had her checked out.

Hi, I'd call the vet if I were you..just to be on the safe side, especially with a dilated pupil as Becs has just suggested

Let us know how you get on!!!

I don't mean to scare you, but it does need checking out! Unresponsive pupils are worrying and the vet will probably want to see her asap.

Don't stress Footy , I Agree with the others..vets ASAP just to be on the safe side , it may need drops for the inflammation/bruising that may follow later..keep us posted!! MENTION THE TUMMY PROBLEM TOO IF YOU GO TO THE VETS...

Thanks I took her to the vets and they said she may have had mild concussion but not to worry. Her eye is slightly swollen, bruised on the inside but he put di in it and there were no scratches. He check for signs of internal bleeding and skull fractures but she was all clear, she just has to have eye drops for 3-4 days.
He said her pupils didn't look too diff (they started going normal after I had travelled 30 mins to get to the emergency vets, typical lol).
At least I can sleep easy knowing shes ok.
