Goopy eyes – help please!

Hi guys,

I’m looking for tips about how to help my dogs eyes be less goopy/runny.

He eats grain free TOTW and his coat, poop etc all is healthy. However, his eye are always runny with a “clearish†fluid and white/clear mucus builds up in the corners of his eyes. He also seems to be itching at them.

What can I do to get the goop to stop forming.

Please help!? Thank you!!

Could be allergy related. Since I've switch to California Natural, a lot of allergies have disappeared.

My guess is allergies, too. Environmental are more common than food allergies, though it could be either.

I'd talk to your vet; if the eyes seems to bother your dog, you could try Benedryl to see if that helps. (My guy gets it twice a day right now -- spring is tough!)

Could also be entropion or disctichia.

What breed is your dog?

I've heard people swear that fish oil suppliments will clear this up. Never had this problem myself, but fish oil's good for a lot of things so it couldn't hurt.

Thanks for the replies!
He is a Springer Spaniel.
I have heard from others too about the fish oil. I think I'll give that a try (for him and me!).
Thank you!
