Boxer Puppy Has Red Eyes

If your dog has red eyes but otherwise seems healthy, it may be a less obvious problem. Long-haired dog breeds can get eye redness if the fur around their eyes is poking and scratching the eyeball. And while many pooches love sticking their head out of a car window, bugs and dirt can hit them in the face, or the wind can cause severely dry eyes.

Boxer puppy has red eyes. but red eyes all the time? The other boxer in our puppy class ALWAYS has bloodshot eyes. So I'm not sure. RockyCody, Dec 29, 2009 #5. pjack Boxer Pal.

Like all dogs, your boxer has three eyelids, the third of which is located in the corner of each eye. Normally, you don't see this eyelid, which houses a tear gland and helps him make tears. Occasionally the gland will come out of its position and swell, giving your pup a red eye. I have a 10 week old puppy with bloodshot eyes, also looks like he has red eyeliner around both eyes. He has an overabundance of "sleepy dust" in the inside corners when he awakes from any rest period. The breeders thought it was dust irritation, however, I rinsed the eyes with clear water, and none of his other siblings had this. Abby, the boxer, gets red eyes when she's tired (hot pink lips too!) or stressed or playing hard, etc. Vet said all these things can contribute. She doesn't have droopy eyes at all but you can see the red around the rim.

The Boxer dog, among many animals, has 3 eyelids: the upper, the lower and one that normally rests under the upper lid, out of sight. The 3rd eye lid is rarely seen under normal circumstances. A human would only notice this if lifting up a Boxer dog's main eyelid. A dog’s eyes function a lot like our own. When normal and healthy, a dog’s eyes will take in light and transform it into images, like a food bowl or favorite toy. If those eyes become red and irritated, though, they can cause major discomfort and possibly not function very well. After having your Boxer checked out by a reputable and experienced veterinarian you can then rest assured that your Boxer's eye boogers, while a nuisance, are not affecting his or her health. If your puppy or dog has any of the above signs of "what is not normal", do be sure to take them for a checkup. As I am a black belt in taekwondo, I always do strong exercises too, although I'm not as professional as you. When we do exercises we may feel excited, so the blood pressure can be very high. In our body, the weakblood capillary in our eyes can be pressed hard and sometimes it just can not stand the pressure and then it will rupture, so your eyes will blood inside and seem red.

Red eyes are a common symptom of eye infection in dogs. Like all dogs your boxer has three eyelids the third of which is located in the corner of each eye. This looks like a red film which covers the dogs eye known as the cherry eyes. You can tell if a dog has cherry eyes if there is red tissue seen on your boxers eyeball hence the name cherry. Rocky is my nine month old boxer, He is in excellent health. My concern is his eye. Since the day we got him, his eye has been red and droopy. Vet said it was allergies, gave us eye drops. However that did NO good. Tried different ones, and still no result. He doesnt scratch it, doesn't seem to bother him at all. Many conditions can turn a dog's eyes red. While sometimes it's caused by minor irritation, red eyes can be a sign of a serious eye condition. These include canine glaucoma, uveitis, keratoconjunctivitis sicca, and Horner's syndrome. A trip to the vet is important to diagnose and treat your dog. One fact about faun boxer with blue eyes and white boxer with blue eyes is that, these dogs can inherit blue eyes even if their parents have black or dark brown eyes. This recessive gene is known to be found in every boxer puppy and has different reasons to show up. As a puppy grows up, it is born with a differing blue eye color.

ok we know that boxers can get what they call cherry eye but are very unsure what that really is. i understand i can just look it up on google. but my boxer puppy is almost 4 months old and every now and then the whites of his eyes turn red.. is this a sign that he might have cherry eye. or might it me something else Inflammation of the Eye in Dogs. Red eye causes the dog's eye to become inflammed and, well, red. This inflammation may be due to various factors, including excess blood in the eyelids (hyperemia) or in the eye's blood vessels (ocular vasculature).This occurs when vessels expand in response to extraocular or intraocular (outside of, and within the eye, respectively) inflammation, or a passive. The very term indolent (slow to heal) gives a hint to the behavior of these lesions.They are extremely lazy! Indolent corneal ulcers—also known as Boxer ulcers, recurrent epithelial erosions, or SCCED—are common in middle to older aged dogs of all breeds, but most commonly, as one might suspect, Boxers.They are believed to be associated with a defect in the layers of the corneas to adhere.
