Matter/Gunk in eyes

Post by Kevin Dowell »

Guys,

I have 6 dogs right now, and have a question about 1 of them.
This one particular dog's eyes stay mattered/gunked up. What do i need to do. I clean out the best i can every day i feed them, but his eyes just stay mattered up? Any Suggestions?

The more people I meet, the more I love my dogs!

Kevin, he may have an eyelid problem that is scratching his eye everytime he blinks. I have seen this in coon hounds as well. Had to have surgery on his eyes. I think it was called an inverted eye lid. Just a guess.

It would not bother me so bad if it was just after we ran bunnies.......... but it pretty much stays that way. Green Slimmy stuff.........
Like i said i try to keep it cleaned out as good as i can each day with a wet cloth at feeding time, but sometimes it gets prett nasty.

Thanks for advice so far guys

A few drops of mineral oil works great.Try it, it helps tremendously.
