My dog has a spot in his eye, but it doesn't bother him. What is it?

Question

About 1 week ago I spotted a spot in my dog princes eye and I thought it might just go away but it’s still just sitting there. It doesn’t seem to bother him he’s still the same hyper loving dog I have been keeping close eye to it but it hasn’t changed but does concern me a little I need any advice on what could be wrong. Pet's info: Dog | Chihuahua | Male | unneutered | 1 year and 11 months old | 15 lbs

Hello. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. That spot appears to be a scar on the cornea (maybe a previous injury/scratch). The other possibility is fungal spot called a "Florida spot" (doesn't have to be living in Florida). I personally would not be concerned about this at all. You know Prince best though and if you are worried you should get him to your vet for an exam. Your vet can use an ophthalmoscope to get a better look at the eye. It is hard to tell for sure what is going on just from a few photos over the internet. Hope this helps. Best wishes.
