My 2 month old puppy's right eye has a red vein popping out more than the others. I'm NT sure if I should be considered or not.

If Scarlet is squinting or if her eye has discharge I'd recommend seeing a veterinarian. The blood vessels in the eye can become larger when dogs are excited or when they have eye infection or inflammation. If just the one blood vessel is affected and she doesn't seem uncomfortable you probably don't need to intervene unless the redness gets worse.

Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Red eye can be caused by conjunctivitis, which is an infection of the tissues on the interior of the eyelids. It can also be due to a foreign body, a corneal ulcer, or be an allergic reaction. I recommend having Jax seen by a vet as soon as possible, especially if the condition gets worse, as eye conditions can quickly become emergencies. I hope all is well!

It could be that King has an eye infection. I would take him into a vet immediately. Any eye problem should be considered an emergency, as leaving it untreated can lead to vision loss. The vet can diagnose what is causing his eye to be red and have discharge, and can prescribe medication to treat it.

Poor Olaf! This could be a minor eye irritation or it could be more serious like an ulcer on the eye(s) or conjunctivitis (infection). Since they are becoming more red, I would have your vet take a look at him. Your vet will be able to stain the eye to rule out corneal ulcers and be able to tell if there is any other causes for the redness. They will also be able to start him on the proper meds to help him feel better if needed. I hope this helps!
