My dog's eye looks slightly off, no other symptoms. What to do?

Question

My dog (3 years old, lab/boarder collie mix) has no other symptoms other than I've noticed the membrane by his eye a little different than normal. No discharge, redness, pawing at it it...just a tad off. Any suggestions? Otherwise, appetite, demeanor, energy, all the same. It's the right eye. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | neutered | 3 years and 3 months old | 52 lbs

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Rocco. His third eyelid on the right eye does appear to be a bit inflamed. Since it is not bothering him, it is ok to watch it and see if it resolves. Allergies are common this time of year. If he develops a discharge, begins squinting on that side or pawing at the eye, then he will need to see his veterinarian. I hope this information helps!
