It depends where the blood vessel is located. Whether the vessel you are seeing is in or on the surface of the eye can really help determine if this should be cause for concern. There can be normal blood vessels that are on the white part (sclera) of the eye ball itself. However, any evidence of a blood vessel inside the eyeball is not normal. Bulging vessels can occur if a dog has high blood pressure or something blocking flow of the blood through the vessel. It may be best to have your veterinarian examine Diesel's eye to ensure that this is not a sign of a disease affecting his entire body, such as high blood pressure.
