We noticed Monday our new puppy had bloodshot eyes and it went away. Now tonight it is back. I know huskies have lots of eye issues so what should I look for when I take him to the vet? I am worried.

Jessica, My girl gets the bloodshot eyes too at night (guessing she is tired), or when she is full on zoomie rage, my husband used to call it wolf eye and to watch out because she'd be going crazy, and sure enough the crazies ensued, once crazies are done, bloodshot eye goes away. Now if there is a medical problem, I don't know, but if you do find something out let me know, in case I need to worry.

Occasional bloodshot eyes should not be a concern, causes can range from allergies, dryness, to more serious (and more persistent presentation) concerns. If you ever feel your dog may have potential heritable eye concerns you need to seed an ACVO vet, not your general practice vet. GP vets do not have the proper diagnostic tools to properly assess eye problems.

Things to watch out for- discharge from the eye, swelling, cloudiness of the eye, unequal pupils, etc.

Thanks for replying Huskymom09, makes me feel so much better. I also have a something to watch out for list as well.

Sure enough bloodshot eyes were gone this morning. I don't see any of the other signs besides a little discharge he had the first few days that seems to have gone away. I cancelled my vet appointment and I told them that maybe on 9/16 I can get referral for specialist. They usually do that pretty good and we have a good hospital nearby. Sometimes I freak out too much about my pets, but I think everyone here understands. Thanks so much!
