Stitch Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 (edited) Mainly this is from dirt, etc. going into the eye and irritating the eye which then produces tears to clean itself. The dirt has to go somewhere so it gravitates to the corner of the eye. Dogs being physically closer to the dirt tend to accumulate more dust, etc. than we do. My puppies get lots of it because they are always rolling around on the grass playing. Sometimes dogs develop an allergy to pollen etc. and the eye can become infected. If the colour of the discharge turns yellowish then it is time to get it treated. If there are a lot of irritants this causes a greyish thick discharge you can always rinse out the eye with a saline solution. Otherwise just comb it away on a daily basis.

puggy_puggy Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Could be just dirt and dust. Could be conjuctivitus. Could also be entropion, eyelids rolling inwards and irritating the eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lab lady Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 could be due to his adult teeth coming through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
