| Does he have hair poking him in the eye? Check to make sure his lashes aren't flipped backward on his upper lid too. It is normal for some eye secretions but that looks a bit excessive imo. Is there any odor?

| If you want to grow the hair out on his muzzle then don't trim it, you can use vaseline (or even hair gel) and smooth it down so it isn't poking in his eyes. If you do intend on keeping his muzzle hair trimmed up then you could trim it now

| I had the same problem with Bear, I trimmed his hair there and had no problems afterward. I also cleanse his eye doogies often. It shouldn't be anything serious.

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | That pic is adorable!!!!!!!!!! If you think the watering is truly excessive, it really is best to have your vet look at the eye for infection. Eye infections are easily treated and not all that uncommon. Also, what are you feeding? Bc food allergies can cause terrible watering, as can enviromnmental allergies - but I'd look at food first.

Well - this may be your answer. CORN is the second ingredient! All of the ones in bold are considered either allergenic, poor quality fillers, and even a bit toxic (menadione). Any time you see menadione - that should be a major red flag as to the quality of the food AND the philosophy - it is a cheap, rather toxic way to get a Vitamin K derivative in the food - stay away! If it were me, I would transition this pup off of the food asap and give something like Canidae or Nature's Variety, Innova, Wellness, Evangers etc.
