This is called scleral hemorrage and there may be some conjunctivitis as well. A check up would be needed as more diffuse haemorrages and corneal injuries must be ruled out as well. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
