| I had that happen to a puppy years ago. The puppy was about a week old and I noticed one eye was swollen and a little pus was coming out. I put some eye antibiotic ointment on it that I got from the vets and it cleared right up. The puppy's eye was fine. I don't know what caused but it has never happened to any since then. Please keep us posted on how your baby is doing. |

| Thanks for the update. When mine had the swollen eye and I did the warm compresses and I think that is when the pus started draining out, then I used the eye ointment. I hope your baby gets better soon. Please keep us updated. |
