QuestionI "dog-sit" an 8 month old English cocker spaniel. I wonder why his eyes are bloodshot. Is this normal?
AnswerNo, it's not normal and the owners should take him to a vet opthalmologist. Have you asked them whether their family vet has taken a look at this?
There's a product (eye drops) called Genteal which is safe for dogs and might be worth trying. Most drugstores/supermarkets carry it.
I'd get the 'Moderate' solution and use it 4 to 5 times a day.
It would be unusual for a dog this young to have a serious eye problem but this most definitely should be addressed.
If you have trouble getting the drops in, let me know and I'll tell you how to do it.
