Q. My dogâs eyes are red. A. Dr. Nunnery: Changes in the color of the eyes can be disconcerting. In fact, itâs one of the most common eye concerns that compel owners to bring dogs to the vet.. My dog has been squinting, as well as rubbing, his eyes. A. Squinting or holding the eye shut usually indicates ocular pain, which can be intense because there are so many sensory nerve endings on the corneaâs surface.
Excessive exposure to sun may also cause redness of the eyes. A dog with red eyes must be taken to a vet to establish the cause of the redness. Immediate intervention is necessary, because severe conditions may result in blindness or losing an eye. However, in most cases the dog only needs some eye drops.
