Red eye

Recommended Posts

weve noticed it alot during the day, where the light catches his eye and it looks/turns red only ever seams to be 1 eye though, his left.

u know... I almost thought Fang is a bi-eyed. I used to think "red eyes" only happen to blue-eyed dogs but Fang proved me wrong. I still don't get it how the red eye only appears on his left eye and not both though! O_O

What you're seeing are the red blood cells on the inside of the eye (for the red-eyes that is, not the laser-eyes :D). If the light is just right you'll be able to see it with your own eyes. Just with people, with some you can see it easily while with others you can't at all. Afaik eye-colour doesn't matter, though the colour it will reflect will look slightly different. Some people only have it with one eye so I'm not surprised dogs can have it too. Glala reflects two different colours as well when using the camera-flash.

Red eyes only appear if your subject is looking directly at the flash or at a light source right behind you. If you make them look slightly away from it you usually won't get any red eyes on your photos :)

Just to be on the safe side, I would ask the vet to look at his eyes with an opthalmoscope next time you take him in. There are a number of hereditary eye conditions that might cause that type of reflection. The fact that you can see it in daylight is more concerning than if it were just from a camera flash or in light shining directly in the eyes at night. Blue eyes are more likely to shine red and reflect off the blood vessels at the back of the eye, as there is less pigment in blue eyes to absorb the light rays. Brown eyes more often reflect blue-green, from the tapetum at the back of the eye.
