I was growing out the nose bridge hair to meet the topknot hair, and I sprayed some hair spray on a small toothbrush, and used this to smooth the hairs on the forehead. Some of the hairs may have come down, and with the hairspray on them may have irritated the eye. The vet said that some dogs get it by rubbing their faces on the carpet too hard, and even some scratch the cornea with their paws. If this affects both eyes, I would think allergies are more the likely answer.
yea, it's both eyes. it is allergy season so i'm guessing that might be it. i took a look at his eyes today and it doesn't appear as red. he does always have his face on the ground too. he's just really tiny right now and very fragile so i'm always worried.

i guess the most important thing is that he has no trouble seeing so he should be fine. i mean, i can't take him to the vet everytime i get paranoid, otherwise i'd be broke right?!
