Hello, I currently have a Shiba Inu mix and I wanted to know if it's normal for my dog to have green eye boogers come every hour. Should I take him to the vet for a check up or is it normal?

Clear nasal discharge is considered normal if not profuse, green however would indicate a potential infection. I would advise taking Archie in to the vet. The veterinarian will be able to take a swab of the discharge to tell if it is an infection and if so what type. The vet will also be able to find the source of the infection; for example nasal passages or within the lungs. A treatment plan can then be made with you.

Yes, I would be concerned in that it isn't normal to have green discharge from the eye. This can be a sign of an eye infection. I would take Hercules into the vet first thing in the morning to have his eyes examined. The vet can diagnose if he does have an eye infection, and can prescribe medication to treat it. It's important to have any eye problem examined and treated promptly because leaving it untreated can lead to vision loss. Good luck, I hope this helps!
