My dog has a red eye spot from playing. Should I take him to vet?

Question

My dog has a red spot on his eye. I’m assuming he got it injured while playing outside. he doesn’t seem to be in pain (not reluctant to open eye) and is acting normal. I’m not sure if his eye will heal on its own or if I should bring him to the vet. Pet's info: Dog | Chihuahua | Male | neutered | 12 years and 2 months old | 5 lbs

Hello, yes you definitely need to take him to your vet to get it checked, it's most likely a corneal ulcer, this can happen due to an injury or eye infection, often it can get worse and even cause blindness in that eye, it needs to be treated with special eye drops
