My dog's bloodshot eye keeps recurring. Is it pink eye or serious?

Question

My dog supposedly had pink eye a few months ago and the her eye was blood shot again so I took her to the vet and the prescribed the same drops. It transferred to the other eye again. I'm assuming it's some kind of infection. How should I go about dealing with this? Does she need to see an eye specialist?

Infectious conjunctivitis is not common in dogs and unless she is going to doggie day care or is in contact with many dogs it is unlikely that she has contracted an infection twice. More likely would be allergic conjunctivitis or another eye disease like anterior uveitis. I would recommend rechecking with your veterinarian first. If they see anything unusual they may recommend referral to an ophthalmologist.
