Why are my Golden Retriever's eyes red, bulky, and look watery?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Golden Retriever | Female | unspayed | 1 year old | 72 lbs

My Gold Retriever's eyes look bulky and there is a clear wring on the bottom half of both eyes, as though it has liquid between the sclera. What can be the cause? She started with red eyes.

Sophie could have injured her eyes or could have a severe eye infection. The eye is such a delicate and important structure that any problem with it is considered and emergency. That's because leaving it untreated can lead to vision loss. I would take Sophie into a vet now, who can diagnose what is caused her eye problems so she can be treated.
