If your dog is squinting or closing their eye, rubbing or pawing at it, or you see inflammation or discharge it could be a sign they’ve got a problem. Other signs to look out for: A dull eye surface Debris or matter in or near the eye Cloudiness Tear stains around the eye Any kind of discharge. When you notice any changes in your dog’s eyes then you should see your vet. Even minor eye issues can be an early sign of a future problem – best to be safe and get it looked at. You shouldn’t see discharge or redness around the eye and the white part should be white, not red or yellow. Their eyes should be clear, moist, bright, and react to light. The pupils should be of equal size.

Don't ignore weepy eyes, always contact your vet as soon as you notice a problem. Contact your vet straight away if you notice anything wrong with your dog’s eyes. Eyes are far too precious to leave to chance and the problem could get quickly worse if left without treatment. Even if your dog has had weepy eyes for a while, contact your vet for an appointment to have them checked. A small amount of crusting in the corner of the eyes is normal, but continual weeping or a sticky discharge isn’t.
