My dog has a bulging blood vessel in his eye, no pain. Is it serious?

This usually happens with trauma to the eye or if the dog has been choked. If it is just a burst blood vessel, it should resolve with time, like a bruise. If there is any swelling, squinting, cloudiness of the clear part of the eye or discharge, I would recommend taking her to a veterinarian to make sure there is not something more serious that requires treatment.

If Scarlet is squinting or if her eye has discharge I'd recommend seeing a veterinarian. The blood vessels in the eye can become larger when dogs are excited or when they have eye infection or inflammation. If just the one blood vessel is affected and she doesn't seem uncomfortable you probably don't need to intervene unless the redness gets worse.

Hi there, you're seeing a larger blood vessel in Lyla's eye. This is likely normal (the photographs appear normal to me), but if Lyla is showing any sign of discomfort with her eye (discharge, squinting, rubbing her eyes) or if the appearance of that blood vessel changes, then it's best to have a vet take a look. Hope this helps!

Based on what I can see in the photo, this looks like a normal blood vessel :) It's very common for dogs to have one or more enlarged veins in the white part of the eye, called "vortex veins" - these are normal, and are responsible for draining different types of fluid from inside the eye. As long as Delilah doesn't have any redness, squinting, or discharge from the eye, there should be no reason for concern.

It looks like a swollen, engorged blood vessel. I am fairly sure that it is not a parasite/worm. Enlarged blood vessel like this can be a result of allergic reaction, trauma or inflammation to the eye bulb. If the eye is bothering Todd, please take him to your local vet for ophtalmic examination.

Hello there! While probably not an emergency (unless Dodi appears to have discharge or discomfort), I do recommend that she is seen by a vet. Broken blood vessels in the sclera (white part) of the eye are not entirely uncommon in pop-eyed dogs like the Havanese (usually from stress or irritation), however it usually happens in one eye at a time. Dodi is a young dog, and I would not expect any serious conditions, however it is always best to contact a vet when it comes to strange eye issues as if there is a problem, they can get worse quickly. The vet will want to check for conjunctivitis and foreign objects, though I would expect that Dodi would be acting uncomfortable if either of these were the case. In the meantime, keep a close eye (no pun intended) on Dodi, and give your vet a call in the morning. I hope Dodi's eyes clear up soon! Best regards,

Hello and welcome to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. A broken vessel in an eye can be caused by a few different things including trauma, infection, high blood pressure, etc. If the eye is otherwise not injured then either the stress of being in hospital caused Sascha's blood pressure to increase and she burst a vessel (if she is a stressed dog), or she might have had a bit of a trauma during the dental, as sometimes you have to hold their head still while doing extractions. Even with the most gentle and carefully performed dental procedure, this can happen, as those vessels can burst with a small amount of pressure, and you need to put a bit of pressure on the head to support it to properly and safely remove the tooth. You can always ask your vet as well. As long as Sascha isn't squinting, and can see ok, it will heal up with time. Best of luck with Sascha.
