    Eye issue?

    I have a 1.5 year old EE who’s eyes seem more red today than normal. Around the eye… not the actual eye. They just seemed a bit more puffy and brighter red.. to the point that I noticed them. Does this look like an infection? She is fine otherwise.. eating.. drinking.. laying. Could this...
