My dog's eye rolls back when yawning and stretching. Should I worry?

Question

Hi, my dog on every yawn, I noticed, his left eye seems to move at the back.. Its the second day he keeps doing it, but he doesnt seem to have sight problems. Its only happening on every single yawn and stretching. :/. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 5 years and 11 months old

If the strange eye movement started recently, it is a good idea to get it checked out by your vet. Problems with the nerves or muscles surrounding the eye (connected to the face, which may become irritated during a yawn), injury, or illness may all cause the eye to behave oddly. Your vet can examine the eye and perform a neurologic exam as needed to make sure everything is OK.
