What are the Symptoms of eye cancer in dogs?

I was at my friend’s house yesterday to pay her a courtesy visit. While we were chatting, I noticed that her dogs’s eyes were red and swollen. Since I have the same breed as hers’, I decide to take a closer look. The dog was pawing the eyes continuously and I could notice that it was not very comfortable. Do you think it could be eye cancer?

Pain is one of the tougher symptoms to recognize when a dog develops cancer in its eye. Since dogs can't vocalize what's causing them discomfort, you'll have to pay close attention to your dog's moods and actions. A dog scratching or rubbing the area around its eye--whether yelping or not, squinting when outside or in a bright room, or tearing up in one or both eyes could be symptoms of a malignant condition. They could also signal an infection, which still dictates a vet visit.
