Call it what you like, it&#8217;s really just eye discharge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tears perform a number of functions that keep the eye healthy, such as lubrication and washing away dirt and dust to keep the eye-clean, so watery eyes can be perfectly normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some breeds may produce more tears than others because of the shape of the eye socket. These include <a href=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/en-us\/blog\/puppy-training\/breed-specific\/how-to-train-a-pug-puppy\/\">Pugs<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/en-us\/blog\/puppy-training\/breed-specific\/how-to-train-a-french-bulldog-puppy\/\">Bulldogs<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/en-us\/blog\/puppy-training\/breed-specific\/guide-how-to-train-cocker-spaniel-puppy\/\">Cocker Spaniels<\/a> and Shih-Tzus. If a breed is particularly hairy or has many skin folds around the eyes, this can also cause more of a weepy eye.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Puppy runny eye discharge can vary in color from clear to green or yellow. Green or yellow can signal an infection though so that might be worth a check up with your Vet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/mia-anderson-hVRoKfEDYDA-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"brown dog with brown eyes looking up at the camera\" class=\"wp-image-4235\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/mia-anderson-hVRoKfEDYDA-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/mia-anderson-hVRoKfEDYDA-unsplash-scaled-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/mia-anderson-hVRoKfEDYDA-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/mia-anderson-hVRoKfEDYDA-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/mia-anderson-hVRoKfEDYDA-unsplash-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/mia-anderson-hVRoKfEDYDA-unsplash-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@miaanderson?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Mia Anderson<\/a>&nbsp;on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why does my puppy have watery eyes?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are several possible causes for your puppy&#8217;s runny or watery eyes. Some are entirely normal and are simply your puppy&#8217;s body&#8217;s way of remaining healthy, but there are others you should be mindful of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Your puppy\u2019s runny eyes may be due to allergies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like itchy eyes from hayfever, puppies can get allergies too, from<a href=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/en-us\/blog\/puppy-health\/feeding\/puppy-nutrition-guide\/\"> food allergies <\/a>to environmental. Air fresheners and plug-ins can cause environmental allergic reactions, so avoid those if you have a puppy or dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Puppy weepy eye may be conjunctivitis<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re seeing puppy watery eyes with a yellow or green pus discharge, which goes crusty or gluey after sleep, inflammation or redness of the eye is probably conjunctivitis. There can be quite a few different causes for conjunctivitis, this is one to ask your vet about as it\u2019s easily treated.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ulcers can cause runny eyes&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a few different causes of corneal ulcers, and they generally make your puppy\u2019s eye quite sore. You\u2019ll often see an ulcer start as a milky or cloudy area in the eye.&nbsp; You should seek immediate Vet attention if you think your puppy has an eye ulcer as they can cause sight loss if left untreated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A stray eyelash or other foreign body can cause a watery eye<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Isn\u2019t that the worst? We all know how annoying and aggravating a rogue eyelash in the eye can be, and it\u2019s just the same for your puppy. It might be another foreign body too, like a grass seed that\u2019s caused your pup to have runny eyes<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Brachycephalic dog breeds often have more watery eyes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>No, they aren\u2019t just more emotional\u2026those apartment faces mean their eye sockets are more shallow in breeds such as <a href=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/en-us\/blog\/puppy-training\/breed-specific\/how-to-train-a-pug-puppy\/\">Pugs<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/en-us\/blog\/puppy-training\/breed-specific\/how-to-train-a-french-bulldog-puppy\/\">Bulldogs<\/a> and Frenchies than in other breeds of dogs, and so the eye protrudes out of the front of their faces. They also often have more folds around their eyes, and fur close to the eye. All of those factors will make them more likely to struggle with weepy eyes than others.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Entropion will cause puppy runny eye<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some breeds of puppy have what\u2019s called entropion eye &#8211; this is where the eyelids roll in on themselves and eyelids skin and fur rub against the surface of the eyes. It\u2019s a hereditary condition and some breeds such as Shar-Peis, Chow Chows and <a href=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/en-us\/blog\/puppy-training\/breed-specific\/how-to-train-a-pug-puppy\/\">Pugs<\/a> seem to be most affected by it, and will need to have their eyes tacked (operated on) to correct the eyelid.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/austin-kirk-asH8Cadx6AM-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"dog with brown eyes looking at camera\" class=\"wp-image-4234\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/austin-kirk-asH8Cadx6AM-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/austin-kirk-asH8Cadx6AM-unsplash-scaled-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/austin-kirk-asH8Cadx6AM-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/austin-kirk-asH8Cadx6AM-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/austin-kirk-asH8Cadx6AM-unsplash-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/austin-kirk-asH8Cadx6AM-unsplash-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@austinkirk?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Austin Kirk<\/a>&nbsp;on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How can I help my puppy\u2019s watery eyes?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the best ways to help your puppy\u2019s watery eyes is to keep them healthy in the first place, with a <a href=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/en-us\/blog\/puppy-health\/feeding\/puppy-nutrition-guide\/\">good diet,<\/a> and having a regular <a href=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/en-us\/blog\/puppy-health\/grooming\/puppy-grooming-tips\/\">grooming routine.<\/a> You\u2019ll also want to do lots of handling exercises and probably teach your puppy how to have pretend eye drops put in. By teaching your puppy to be A-OK with this kind of handling you can prepare them for any eye examinations they might need to have in the future.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eyes are so delicate and also self-cleaning, that there\u2019s normally not a need to put any drops in to clean them. Just make sure the area around the eye is clear of any dust or debris, and don\u2019t be tempted to use anything like sawdust in living areas as that can cause a lot of eye troubles.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need to clean your puppy\u2019s eyes, then cooled boiled water or saline can be used on cotton wool, don\u2019t squirt anything in the eye, be really gentle.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep your puppy hydrated, with fresh water available at all times. Removing the <a href=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/en-us\/blog\/new-puppy\/puppy-essentials\/best-puppy-bowls\/\">water bowl<\/a> won\u2019t reduce the amount their eyes run and you can run the risk of your puppy becoming dehydrated and getting a dry nose.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your puppy is itching or scratching their eyes, has a colored eye discharge, excessive tearing, any hazing or shadows on their eye, or there has been a sudden change and they now have runny eyes then consult a vet. They will be able to examine the eye thoroughly (bring lots of<a href=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/en-us\/blog\/puppy-health\/feeding\/best-healthy-puppy-training-treats\/\"> treats <\/a>to teach your puppy this is a fun thing to do!) and tell you whether there is a reason to be concerned.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We hope you\u2019ve found the above useful, and you\u2019ve managed to understand a little bit about why your puppy has runny eyes.
