What does a dog’s eye discharge look like?
Dog eye discharge is usually yellow or brown, either dry solid or moist paste. Tears contain proteins and other substances that form discharge when not fully drained. A moderate amount is normal and protects the eyes from bacteria and dust. But excessive discharge with redness, swelling, or tearing signals an eye problem needing a vet.
