My 18 weeks old standard poodle pup has some red in her eye (along her pupil), should I be concerned? Both side of the eyes, both are outter corner of eyes. She sees fine and she is healthy as far as I known. One vet checked three weeks ago, said she is fine, I just wanted a second opinion. Thanks so much.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Coco. The redness appears very mild. It is likely not a problem for her, but if it persists, I would have her eyes re-evaluated. She could have an eyelash irritating her cornea or be experiencing a mild seasonal allergy. If she develops squinting, eye discharge or begins to paw at the eye, she will need to be seen right away. I hope this information helps!
