I had a friend watch my puppy 3 days ago and he states that when he left for 5 minutes he came back and my puppies white area of the eye was SOLID blood red, as if he had run into something. I have waited 3 days and it has not faded. When I touch his eye (when the lid is cklosed, of course,) he doesn't yelp in pain or anything, and while covering the noninjured eye, I moved my hand swiftly towards the injured eye, as if I were going to strike him and he blinked (I was testing to see if he could see to react, I never hit my 10 week old pup). He also can follow my finger with the healthy eye covered. My question is Does he need to go to a vet or will the bright red bloodshot color eventually fade on it's own?

P.S. He acts like it doesn't even bother him.

IMO, eyes are nothing to mess with. If this condition has not passed in the amount of time you state, I'm thinking get this pup to the vet. If nothing else, it will provide you with peace of mind. OTOH, there are a lot of eye diseases that can present in dogs. Hope it's nothing too serious.

UPDATE: I found this on the internet

If it is solid blood red, there are in deed some broken vessels. This can be due to trauma -- though it would be hard to hit both eyes hard enough without some other facial injury, unless there was a direct poke in the eyes or some foreign bodies may have flown into the eyes & knicked some vessels. Was your dog whacked in the face &/or poked in the eyes? It can also be due to straining (ie excessive pulling) &/or a spike in blood pressure. (Humans can get it from excessively heavy lifting, hard coughing & straining to have a bowel movement so a similar physical strain can happen to dogs as well.) This condition is called a subconjunctival hemorrhage & looks horrid. It is normally not of concern unless it happens repeatedly for no apparent reason (ie no trauma) in which case I'd have the dog thoroughly checked for possible high blood pressure or fragile blood vessels. If the vessels in the eyes hemorrhage easily, so will vessels elsewhere (ie the brain.) It usually clears in 4-7 days & will go from blood red to orange then yellow before it clears. There's no treatment for it - the body will take care of it on its own. Just be sure there's no foreign body in the eyes. Don't give your dog any aspirin until it's gone since the aspirin will interfere with bloodclotting & the leaking may continue.

When my puppy does #2 he does strain because his whole bottom end lifts up, including the back legs. It looks like he's levitating from the back. I'll have to keep a close eye on this....

I have been told (for humans) that a red patch in the WHITE part of the eye is usually a broken blood vessel(s) that heal on their own in a week or two, and isn't something to worry about. But if the blood is in the COLOURED part of the eye (iris or pupil) then it is an emergency.

So just keep your eye on the dog, if it hasn't healed in 5-7 days or a new spot shows up, see your vet.

I know exactly what you're describing, i watched it happen with my own eyes with a fearful dog once at the vets. If that's what it is it'll go away in a week or two. If it was my dog i'd be having a serious conversation with the dog sitter....
