My dog's eye is red after bath soap. Will it resolve naturally?

Question

My dog got soap in his eye during a bath and now it’s really red. He is still behaving normally Will it resolve itself on its own? Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Male | neutered | 3 years and 3 months old | 80 lbs

Aww poor guy! It will likely resolve on its own over the next 24 hours. Rinse his eye thoroughly with tap water to make sure residual soap is gone. If it’s not resolved in 24 hours or if it starts to seem like it’s bothering him, take him to your vet. It’s possible there is enough irritation to cause an ulcer on his cornea. (Though not likely.) Thanks for asking Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!
