∙ 15y agoMany things would explain mucus. It could be Allergies, if it's not colored (yellow or green), and seems to go along with the dog chewing on hot spots. If the eye looks red or puffy, or like there might be a cut on it, it could be infected. If he's also got discharge from his nose, he might have a cold (kennel cough, etc.). My dog's got allergies, so he's pretty much always got a little bit of mucus. I know it's allergies, because we brought him to our veterinarian to have him checked him out to make sure. Either way, you should take your dog to the vet if this is something you've never seen before.
Actually, take him/her to the vet just to be on the safe side. Definitely.
Hope that helps!

Why do you produce 'eye-poo'?
"Eye-poo" is another word for the dried mucous in the corners of your eyes when you first wake up. The eyes produce a thin layer of mucous (also spelled mucus) as a natural protection from dust and other things getting onto the eyeballs. The mucous also keeps the eyeballs moist, which is very important for their health. When we sleep, this mucous can dry up, and more is produced. But the old layer of mucous forms "eye-poo," or "sand" in the eyes. I don't happen to know the scientific term for it!
