I don't want to cut it, because I want it to grow long! :/ I've never had a long-haired dog before so this is all new to me. Does that sound like a reasonable cause for eyes being watery all the time and goopy in the morning? The boogs she has in the morning aren't green or yellow, and she only has them in the morning. I'm going to keep her hair pinned back until it grows past this point I guess? It looks kinda silly pinned right between her eyes.  Poor kid! |
Awwwwwwwwww, that pic is adorable!!!! Cute little punkin' butt. Also, highly fashionably forward!
So glad you found the culprit to the eye issue. And yes, that could be the culprit if it was sometimes poking the eye. Pull the lower lid out too whenever the eyes are bothering, and make sure it's just light pink - not dark pink or red (which can mean infection). Also, when puppies are teething, their eyes can water.
