My dog has a red spot on the white of her eye. Should I be worried?

I just noticed a red spot on the white of my dog’s eye. Doesn’t look inflamed or swollen, and it doesn’t seem to be bother her. I will post a picture. Pet's info: Dog | Golden Retriever | Female | spayed | 9 years and 3 months old | 70 lbs

It's a bit difficult to tell from the picture, but it does not look like anything serious. It's likely just a spot that got bumped or irritated by something. These usually go away within a day or two. If all the white part was red and there was excessive tears, then I would be more concerned that something is continually irritating the eye and would recommend a visit to the vet for treatment. If she is otherwise appearing normal, then I think it's fine to wait a couple of days and see if this resolves on its own. I hope that helps and all is well with Millie.
