Their is a vein on the outer eye. She has no reactions whatsoever to it. Its only visible if she looks a certain direction or moving the eyelid a bit. Its only one, concerned does this go away or is there a bigger problem that needs to be looked into?

She is very young, there is a good chance that it will go away on it's own eventually but it is impossible to know for sure, and even if it doesn't go away, it's not likely to cause any medical problems.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Precious. She may have some mild inflammation within her eye causing the prominent vein. If she is not squinting or pawing at the eye, it is likely not bothering her. If she is doing these things or if you notice a discharge from the eye, then she will need to see her veterinarian. Otherwise you can monitor her and it should not be a problem. I hope this information helps!
