Crusty material around the eye of any animal is generally caused by an accumulation of exudate (wet material, could be tears or inflammatory), dust and dead cells. A small amount of crust is considered normal, particularly for certain breeds. An excessive amount of crusting could be due to infection (such as pink eye) or other eye disease.
