One of the most attractive, powerful, and courageous mastiff dogs is the cane corso. They are well renowned for their frightening size and black silken coat, but there is another characteristic that stands out to many people: their large attractive eyes.

Any intruder would be terrified by their frightening eyes, but have you ever noticed how many different kinds of eye colors they have?

You will learn everything there is to know about Cane Corso’s eye color and its significance in this article.

Let’s start!

Cane Corso Red Eyes

Unfortunately, Cane Corsos do not have red eyes, however, they do have amber-colored eyes.

There is no discernible difference between red and amber hue; in fact, differentiating between deep amber and red from a distance can be difficult for many of us. Red is natural, but amber is created by combining yellow and orange colors.

Now, amber-eyed Cane Corsos are abundant and much sought after, but you might be surprised to learn that there are some blue-eyed Cane Corsos as well, albeit they are somewhat unusual.

Blue eyes are regarded as a flaw in the breed, according to the American Kennel Club’s Breed Standard.

Another eye color that is prevalent in Cane Corso is deep brown. Additionally, as dogs age, their eye color changes. A puppy’s eyes typically need nine to twelve weeks to settle.

It is very likely that a Cane Corso puppy’s eyes will turn another color as he gets older. Therefore, if you have a puppy with blue eyes, the color of his eyes may turn brown or amber as he grows older.

Amber

Some Corsos have deep amber eyes, while others have mild amber; however, amber is the most frequent eye color in Cane Corsos.

According to some, deep amber-colored Corsos appear more threatening. Many people say that the deep amber eye color suits Cane Corsos more than any other breed.

Blue

Blue is an unusual eye color found predominantly in Cane Corso puppies. However, as they grow older, their blue eyes begin to dim and turn amber or brown.

The photograph below is an excellent example; notice how the puppy has blue eyes while the daddy Corso has amber eyes. There is a good chance that the puppy’s eyes will change color and turn amber or brown.

In Cane Corso, blue is not considered a healthy eye color. Most blue eyes are caused by corneal edema, or an excess of water in the cornea as a result of a disease process. Other symptoms, such as leakage from the eyes or excessive crying, may accompany blue eyes.

Dark Brown

When viewed from a distance, dark brown may resemble black, but if you look closely, you will notice the difference. Dark brown eyes, like amber, are quite common in Corso.

Cane Corso’s dark brown eyes, in my opinion, look much better because they appear well-rested, attractive, and lovely. However, your decision may differ. Brown eyes in Cane Corso also suggest good health, though it is not the biggest indicator.

What Does Red Eyes Indicate?

This is arguably the most interesting portion, and I’m sure the majority of you are here for it.

Red eyes are bad in any dog, not only Cane Corsos. Red eyes can occur for a variety of reasons. It most commonly occurs when the dog’s eyes do not produce enough moisture to keep the surface adequately lubricated. The cornea becomes dry as the tear glands dry out. Your dog’s eyes will become red and irritated as the moisture that once held dangerous particles at bay evaporates.

Experts claim that red eyes in dogs are a sign of inflammation in one of the parts of the eye. Red eyes can indicate anything from a small problem to a serious—even life-threatening—medical condition, depending on the reason. A dog with red eyes is also more vulnerable to blindness or severe visual loss.

How To Get Rid Of Red Eyes Of Cane Corso

If you discover your Corso’s eyes are red for an extended period of time, you should consult a veterinarian immediately.

You can take some steps to make your dog more comfortable until you can get to the clinic. A cold compress with a soft washcloth, according to experts, can help temporarily relieve any pain or discomfort by lowering inflammation. Avoid triggers including smoke, fumes, pollen, and dust until the reason for the red eyes is discovered.

Cherry eye

Cherry eyes, also known as nictitans gland prolapse or prolapse of the third eyelid gland, is a disorder that occurs in dogs when the nictitans gland thickens, slips out of place, and then sticks out of the membrane.

Cherry eyes can become red and puffy. It occasionally appears and disappears on its own, so you may only notice the cherry eye on occasion. Even if the symptoms are sporadic, it is critical to have your dog examined by a veterinarian.

Cherry eyes appear red, so some people don’t even notice it in the first place; they think that it’s their dog’s natural eye color or he’s feeling sleepy.

Once you notice it, never leave this problem untreated, as it can get worse with time.

Conclusion

Cane Corsos do not have red eyes; however, they may have amber-colored eyes that resemble red eyes. Blue eyes are found in some Cane Corsos, but they are quite unusual. Brown is another popular color in Cane Corsos.

If you see your Corso has red eyes, address it right away.
