My puppy's eyes are matted shut. What's wrong and what should I do?

Question

My mom's puppy's eyes are like glued shut I think a double eye infection? What can I do to help ?

Poor puppy! Unfortunately, there are no home treatments for eye conditions. Excess discharge can occur from primary eye infections, secondary to upper respiratory infections, corneal ulcers, among others. Your mom's puppy needs to go to a vet for an exam so that the cause of the eye discharge can be established and treated appropriately. Make sure that the puppy is wearing an e-collar (cone) to prevent any further injury to the eyes.
