He doesnt scratch it, doesn't seem to bother him at all. Like all dogs, your boxer has three eyelids, the third of which is located in the corner of each eye.

Red eyes in dogs may be permanent or temporary depending on the causative agent. The dog may have one red eye or both bloodshot eyes depending on the causes. Allergies can be contained but underlying health issues or defects can cause permanent redness.
