5 Common Types of Eye Discharge in Dogs
1. A Little Goop or Crust
This is made out of dried tears, oil, dead cells, mucus, dust, etc., and is usually clear or slightly reddish-brown in colour. Perfectly normal 👍
2. Watery Eyes
- Allergies
-Irritants
-Foreign material in the eye
-Anatomical abnormalities
-Blocked tear ducts
-Corneal wounds
-Glaucoma
3. Reddish-Brown Tear Stains
This occurs because tears contain a pigment called porphyrin that turns reddish-brown with prolonged exposure to air. Normal 👍
4. White-Gray Mucus
Dry eye (keratoconjunctivitis sicca or KCS) is a condition that usually develops when a dog’s immune system attacks and destroys the glands that produce tears.
5. Yellow or Green Eye Discharge
A dog whose eyes produce yellow or green discharge often has an eye infection, particularly if eye redness and discomfort are also evident.
