This is a serious symptom that could indicate a bacterial or viral infection, potentially contagious to other animals.
Here's why it's important to see a vet:
* Accurate Diagnosis: A vet can determine the cause of the eye discharge, whether it's bacterial, viral, or something else.
* Appropriate Treatment: Treatment can range from simple eye washes to antibiotics or antiviral medications, depending on the underlying cause.
* Puppy's Health: Contagious infections can be dangerous for puppies, especially their developing immune systems. A vet can assess the risk and recommend preventative measures.
Don't hesitate to contact your veterinarian immediately. Your dog's health depends on it.
