Interesting thread, Joey had watery eyes as a pup, when I switched to distilled water, his eyes cleared up, and every now and again I would try regular water and the tearing returned, and I'd switch back and they would clear up. Finally he outgrew the problem, and he drinks regular water with no tearing. With the tearing he experienced there was no gunk, or brown stuff or what you might call boogers, it was just wet in that area. Now two years, have passed, and no tearing, no boogers nothing. I finally decide to try another food, because Joey's food, Royal Canin, has high corn content, and people convinced me potatoes are better. I switched to Blue Wilderness, I went slowly, and after two days he was only eating half and half, but I noticed his eyes were really bad, not just watering but gunky, so much gunk I had to take a damp cloth to get it out. This continued, for a week until I decided to stop the new food. His eyes looked better the next day, there was no gunk, but they are watery and haven't completely dried up. Now I'm mad at myself for switching the food, I don't know if there is a correlation between the new food and the gunk since the eyes haven't cleared completely. |
