Why is my dog losing fur under its eyes and producing a lot of eye discharge?

What medication helps dog tear stains heal faster?
Tear stains can come from blocked tear ducts, conjunctivitis, or keratitis, so treatment depends on the cause. Gently massage the tear glands and use an eye-care gel to reduce secretion; for inflammation, apply pet-specific antibiotic eye drops or ointment. Breeds with abnormal eye anatomy are especially prone to duct blockage.

Why Does My Cat Have Brown Tear Stains and Eye Discharge?
If a cat's tears are exposed to air they may oxidize and turn brown, so first rinse the eyes with saline solution. If tearing or discharge persists, consider a bacterial or viral infection.

What medication should I use for my cat’s watery eyes?
The right treatment depends on the cause of the tearing. Short-nosed cats often have blocked tear ducts that need clearing, while foreign-object irritation calls for flushing the eye and using anti-inflammatory drops. Ingrown lashes can be plucked or surgically corrected, but you should confirm the cause before giving any medication.
Why is my cat’s eyes watering and producing brown discharge?
Watery eyes with brown discharge can stem from irritants, an unsuitable diet, or eye inflammation. Gently open the eye to check for and remove any foreign object. If the eye is also red or won't open, suspect inflammation and use pet-specific anti-inflammatory eye drops; if symptoms persist, take the cat to a vet.
