  It is very hard to tell by picture if the eye is red. If she is acting normally then I would recommend giving an over the counter anti histamine to help with allergies. However if it is not improving or getting worse I would recommend taking him to a veterinarian for a close exam. Also increased drinking water can be behavioral or secondary to disease. I would recommend some basic bloodwork and urine sample to look for underlying disease. Hope that helps

  Your dog likely either has an eye infection or allergic conjunctivitis. Taking him to the vet to have the eyes checked out is probably the best thing you can do. If you are unable to do this you could try an over the counter antihistamine and flushing the eyes with eye wash and see if this helps.

  Hi, and thanks for your question.
  That is likely to be due to a moderate to severe conjunctivitis, probably secondary to a trauma 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.
