Why did my Siberian husky puppy's eye look weird then return to normal?

Pet's info: Dog | Siberian Husky | Female | unspayed | 5 months and 9 days old | 35 lbs

Hi! I have a purebred Siberian Husky female puppy. Two days ago, she had something weird with her eye (see pic). She has never done this before and she stayed like this for a half hour slowly returning to NORMAL. It happened during howling, (I was making noises to get her and my other husky to do a howling party) she also lost a tooth (baby) that had been yellowed and cracked at the time for a while now and had a new canine growing in. She finally lost it around the time of the incident.

Sienna’s eye looks very abnormal in your picture and it’s odd that it returned to normal in it’s own. In the picture it looks like she could have anterior uveitis or inflammation in the eye. This could happen secondary to infections, trauma, or cataracts which can be hereditary in Huskies. I doubt the tooth is related. Even though her eye seems normal. Ow it might still be a good idea to have her examined by your vet. They can look closely with good lighting for subtle changes and examine the lens and back of the eye (retina).
