Hi everyone

I've just noticed visible blood vessels in my dog's eyes; I've never seen this before. There is no discharge or swelling and she isn't scratching them.

Thanks for your help

    Hi there,

    From the photos, the visible blood vessels seem to be mainly on the whites of the eye. These can sometimes become more prominent temporarily without it necessarily being anything serious, especially due to slight irritation, tiredness, heat, dust, or dry eyes.

    The fact that there is no discharge, swelling, or pain is quite reassuring.

    I’d suggest keeping an eye on it over the next couple of days to see if the redness changes, and watch out for any signs of discomfort, such as swelling or the eye squinting shut...

    If any of these signs appear, or if the vessels remain very prominent for several days, it would be best to see a vet to check for conjunctivitis, corneal irritation, or the start of dry eye syndrome.

    Best wishes,

    Maëlla
