Hi,

Tonight almost all of a sudden our senior Yorkie's left eye took on a reddish tint in the bottom of the eye around the pupil. The outsides of the eye are normal colored. She's mostly acting like herself (still eating, running around, drinking water, following us etc.)

We think it may be hyphema but are unsure. Has anyone had experience with this? Over the last week she has been pawing her eye occasionally, had white-ish goopy discharge for a day or two (three days ago), sometimes blinks more often in the left eye and occasionally seems a bit more confused when waking up, although it tends to only last for 5-10 minutes.

We're hoping it will go away since she still seems happy/herself and doesn't seem to be in any pain, but we don't want it to get worse. Right now the plan is to call her vet tomorrow and see if we can get an appointment in the next day or two. Any advice is greatly appreciated! Thank you.
