I just noticed this red line on the white of my baby’s eye. It’s directly below her pupil. Should I be concerned about this? She seems okay. I rescued her around 5 months ago. She could have always had it. I’m not sure.

Is that a blood vessel? Dogs do have blood vessels in the whites of the eyes just like people. If this is new, I recommend to have her examined by the veterinarian to check for other evidence of inflammation, blood pressure issues or retinal problems. I hope this helps.
