My female has had a lot of eye drainage since I brought her home. It has never turned hard though; it just seems to dry. I am now feeding the puppies a holistic grain free food but it does contain sweet potatoes. Did the food that you were feeding your puppy contain regular potatoes or sweet potatoes? I might try this although I hate to switch their food again. They were eating grain free food with turkey in it and were itching terribly. I switched it over grain free food with bison and they have almost stopped itching.
