Why Your Dog Has Tear Staining and Eye Discharge

What should I do about my cat’s thick, pus-like eye discharge?
Pus-like eye discharge can result from bacterial infection, mycoplasma, viral infection, dry eye, or other conditions. First wipe the discharge away with a damp cloth, then flush the eye with saline if needed and apply a pet-specific antibacterial eye drop. If symptoms do not improve after treatment, take your cat to a veterinary clinic to identify the cause.
What medicine works best for a dog with a lot of eye discharge?

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

My two-month-old kitten has sparse fur, won’t eat, had blood-sucking bugs, and is now weak and gasping with eye discharge — is it dying?
From your description this is likely anemia and malnutrition from not eating and a parasite infestation, plus dehydration and weakness; the flea spray you used may also have caused toxicity. The kitten's condition is critical — take it to a vet immediately for IV fluids, energy, and water, plus treatment for whatever else is wrong.
What can I give my dog for ‘heat’ and excessive eye discharge?
For 'heat' with heavy eye discharge, first switch to a light diet and cut greasy, strongly flavored food. Feed mung-bean soup, vegetables, and fruit to cool the body down. Clean the eye discharge and use a pet-specific antibacterial eye drop; for severe cases a vet-recommended cooling herbal supplement can help.
What medication helps a kitten with watery eyes and lots of eye discharge?
