The red-eye tool only works on the colour red and so won't work on your
dogs' discoloured eyes.
Try making a selection of the areas you want to change and then experiment
with the 'hue and saturation' controls.

I use Elements 3 mainly and Paint Shop Pro 7 for one or two things which
Elements cannot do. Removing animal red eye is one of the things I use PSP
for. The red eye tool has animal or human red eye options. I think PSP7
could be picked up fairly cheaply now and you may consider it worth it if
you regularly take flash photos of animals.

It is OT I suppose but I also own Paint Shop 9 that I bought
very cheaply with the introduction of Paint Shop X. This has an
"animal eye" setting in its red eye panel that can work quite
well. In Elements, you could zoom in and replace the color in
the appropriate pixels
