Is it normal for my puppy to have one eye larger than the other?

My puppy’s right eye is looking slightly larger than her left to me. I’m not sure if it’s just my imagination or if it’s something I should be concerned about.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I think the right eye looks slightly larger than the left eye because of the pigmentation of the left eye. I do not think there is anything wrong with her eye at least based on these pictures. However, I do think that she is seriously adorable! If she develops any discharge, redness or excessive blinking, have her evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment. Otherwise, she is likely going to be ok. Good luck and have a good night!
