It sounds like your pet has an eye infection and possible corneal ulcer or scratch. The only thing you can do is wipe the discharge that accumulates under the eye with a cool wet clean cloth to prevent irritation around the eye. Unfortunately there are no over the counter medications available for dogs so you will have to wait until your vet appt for Wuggie to start actual treatment for the eyes. If Wuggie is pawing or scratching at the eyes then an e-collar can be placed on her to prevent further self inflicted irritation.
