That is probably just due to excessive discharge overnight or during sleep. I would recommend to to monitor it and if persistent take Lioh to your veterinarian as conjunctivitis could be a possible cause. This kin of inflammation could be commonly be caused by infective or allergic causes in puppies. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
