Hi i've had the white part of my eye scratched slightly by our dog and have a slight cut just under my top eyelid what should i do?

Compresses as needed: If the swelling or bleeding is minimal, then use cold compresses for 48 hours and the warm compresses after that while it heals. If the swelling and redness is getting worse see your eye doc or family doc ASAP.
