Reader Question
Dog has been to vet had all sorts of test on her eye left .Vet said eye is just irritated and sent us home it been a week and eye is still very red it dose look better in the morning and worse at night
Answer from Our Team
If the redness hasn't improved after a week, go back to your vet or ask about seeing a veterinary ophthalmologist. A red eye that's worse at night can be caused by dry eye, allergies, inflammation inside the eye or glaucoma, among others.
Go sooner if she squints, the eye is cloudy, or her vision seems affected.
