Red sclera on Boar's eye?

[Alamerona]

Hi TGPF - Just a quick one. Our eldest Boar, Bluebear, seems to have a very red sclera in one eye; we noticed this after he had a little nap on my chest during cuddle time, so we don't know exactly how long this eye has been like this. He is otherwise healthy, behaving normally, and eating / drinking / putting on weight normally. His brother Boar, Walker, is currently being treated for Conjunctivitis.

Below is the NORMAL eye:



...And below is the eye with the red sclera:



Both images were taken seconds apart. Does this seem normal? Or would it constitute a vets trip?

Hi, his eyes look normal to me but if in doubt, then please do see a vet

Hi!

It doesn't look highly inflamed to me. The redness comes from dilated blood vessels on top of it?

I would see a vet during regular opening hours at your convenience if it continues for several days or if you see signs of a conjunctivitis but it is hopefully harmless.

Ok, thank you both! We'll keep an eye on him for now and see how he goes.
