My Brian has had tearing in his left eye for 3 days, and I was waiting to see if time would allow it to get better. But today, when I woke up, I found his left eye to be cloudy and discharge-y. I panicked, afraid that he was going blind in one eye.<br />
<br />
So we rushed him to the vet today and the vet performed intra-occular pressure: numbed his eye, tested the pressure of his eye by poking it with a special tool. She also performed fluorescein eye stain to check if there were any scratches on his…

<br />
Results? Nothing seemed wrong. She determined that it might be some sort of trauma to the eye as the white of his eye was red.<br />
<br />
She prescribed Neomycin and Polymyxin B Sulfates and Dexamethasone Opthalmic Suspension (anti-bacterial/anti-inflammatory eye drops). One drop, twice a day for 7-10 days. 7 days if it's better that day.<br />
<br />
I'm guessing the trauma might be from Ein and Brian playing, as Ein sometimes licks Brian's face/eyes, sometimes accidentally poking his eye(s) with his silly nose.

the vet gave us antibiotic ointment, which clears it up within one or two applications. But once we stop, it goes back to being goopy again, although the goopy isn't greenish any more, more crusty and dark. i'm crossing my fingers that it will clear up and get better with some warmer weather!

Just as an update, I had my mom take Brian to the vet to see what was going on with his eyes. The vet couldn't say for sure, said it could be anything from allergies (of what, not sure) to conjuntivitis to an infection. They also tested him for Glaucoma and dry eye (both results were negative). They gave us some antibiotic eye cream which needs to be put in his eyes every 6 hours. We'll see how that goes, and hopefully he'll respond to the meds.

Can't say how often my wife would've been doing this, but if it was just me, I'm sure it would not have been much more than 3X a day and, like you say, a couple of minutes.<br />
<br />
I'd think the hotter the better -- microwave a wet cloth in a baggie, take it out of the baggie before you use it, make sure it's not too hot (it can be unevenly heated) but the dog should barely be able to stand it. I'd try to get it hot enough that the dog might squirm, but not yelp. I always tested it on me first.<br />

I think repeated cycles might help -- on again, off again, on again, off again -- get pulses of heat and circulation in there to try to flush out the irritants.<br />

I tried doing this as per a comment (yours, i believe!) in another thread about teary/goopy eyes. It seemed to work some, but didn't really get rid of the problem. However, I wasn't sure about frequency and how long to hold the compress on. I was doing hot compresses for about 5 days, trying to give them every 2-4 hours during the daytime, and would hold each compress over both eyes for between 2-3 minutes. I saw mild results, and the goopy seemed to lessen a little, but didn't go completely…

Gwynnie has often had some of this. We find hot compresses work. Microwave a wet cloth, test it carefully on your lips to make sure it's not too hot (it can be unevenly heated), Press it on the eyes. I rely on Gwynnie to let me know if it's too hot.

When we got Wilf he too had teary eyes and now hes 9 months he has only one teary eye , for some reason one cleared up. When i asked the vet about it she said it could be a that he has a problem with his tear ducts but till he is fully grown she doesnt want to look into it because like the other eye it may just clear up on its own. It doesnt seem to bother him but because he has a white face it really stands out.

Hmm, I hadn't thought of doing that. I have a feeling that if I were to call that they would still make me bring him in to be seen by the vet before actually prescribing any medications, but it's worth a shot. Thanks for the advice.

A colour change in discharge usually means an infection. He probably needs antibiotic drops to get rid of the greenish goop. He may still have allergies but allergies are usually clear. Will your vet accept phonecalls or can you talk to a vet tech and ask about the colour change. Maybe they will just prescribe some drops over the phone. Good luck!
