It is not normal for a husky puppy's eyes to be red (congestive flushing) or beige (yellowing of the conjunctiva).
If the husky puppy's eye conjunctiva is red, it is mostly a sign of some infectious diseases and febrile diseases; if the puppy's eye conjunctiva is yellow, it may be a liver problem; if the cornea appears blue-gray, it is more likely It is possible to have infectious hepatitis (also known clinically as hepatitis blue eye).
