yikes!! hope he's ok....eye injuries can be a real problem. a few years ago i was throwing a stick for one of our dogs to fetch and it stuck straight up in the snow. when he went to grab it, the dang thing stuck in the back of his throat!! talk about a shock as he came running back with a branch hanging out of his mouth and he couldn't drop it!! luckily it wasn't in too deep and i could pull it out. plenty of blood and a quick trip to the vet and all was fine. i see you're in w. chicago.....what burb? we're northwest of milwaukee.....
