My dog's eye looks weird after playing with sprinklers. Is it serious?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Australian Shepherd | Male | unneutered

My dog was playing with the sprinklers the other day and ever since then his eye has looked like this. It does not bother him or cause any pain but it is obvious something isn’t right.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This could be due to an eye injury or conditions such as a corneal laceration or just general inflammation from a traumatic injury from playing with the sprinklers. I highly recommend that you have Tyson evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Further therapy would be based on the findings. Good luck and best wishes!
