Why is my dog's eye bloody and puffy after vet visit and nail trim?

Question

I took my dog to the vet today to get her annual shots, from there I took her to get her nails cut (which she absolutely hates). After the nails we went to the dog park as a reward. While at the dog park I noticed that her right eye looked all bloody and was puffing out quite a bit. She isn't rubbing it and there is no discharge coming from it. Is this something that needs looked at? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | spayed | 2 years and 10 months old | 54 lbs

Hi and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Sorry to hear about Lucy. This is a subconjunctival hemorrhage of the sclera of the eyes. This means that some blood vessels in the white part of the eye (sclera) have ruptured. This can be secondary to trauma or too much pressure on the neck. I would contact the veterinary hospital that did the vaccines and ask them how well did she tolerate the visit or did she need lots of restraining. I would also question the place where she had her nails done. I would ask the same thing. It is possible that she suffered some trauma at the dog park but I'm skeptical about this. Looks like it's from restraining her for some procedures. Good luck
