Why are my dog's eyes bloody after neuter surgery yesterday?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This could be due to an eye injury or conditions such as a corneal laceration, corneal ulcer, uveitis, conjunctivitis, dry eye (also known as KCS), among many other conditions. I recommend that you have her evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Further therapy would be based on the findings. Good luck and best wishes!

This can likely wait until tomorrow and not need an emergency visit. He is super handsome! Have a good day!

Hi and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Sorry to hear about Lucy. This is a subconjunctival hemorrhage of the sclera of the eyes. This means that some blood vessels in the white part of the eye (sclera) have ruptured. This can be secondary to trauma or too much pressure on the neck. I would contact the veterinary hospital that did the vaccines and ask them how well did she tolerate the visit or did she need lots of restraining. I would also question the place where she had her nails done. I would ask the same thing. It is possible that she suffered some trauma at the dog park but I'm skeptical about this. Looks like it's from restraining her for some procedures. Good luck

Watch for any squinting of the eye. Could be a side effect of anesthesia. Their eyes have ointment put into them for anesthesia because they do not close their eyes when sedated and they can dry out. They could have gotten dry. If you have any saline eye drops or artificial tears you could try that today and then call your vet when they are open again

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I agree with your veterinarian. Sometimes bleeding can be noticed from the nostril in the same side as the removed eye. The reason is that there is some connection in between both structures through the nasolacrimal duct. This should improve within days of surgery. Good luck and have a great day!

Hi, and thanks for your question. That is likely to be due to a mild to moderate conjunctivitis, probably secondary to an allergy or infection. A check up would be needed as appropriate treatment would include antibiotics and anti-inflammatory eye drops. Corneal injuries must be ruled out as well.
