I am so sorry to hear that Luna is experiencing these problems with her eye. Start by placing an e-collar or cone on Luna to prevent scratching or rubbing. If the eye is infected it is likely painful, this will prompt Luna to scratch or rub her eye. However, this could inflict further damage, infection or even an ulceration. Green discharge is usually indicative of an infection, and closing her eyes usually means it is also painful. Because eye concerns with dogs, such as infections, corneal ulcerations, cataracts and glaucoma, can progress rapidly in dogs I would have him examined by your veterinarian to diagnose the issue. The precise medication can then be dispensed by your veterinarian. Please do not attempt to treat an eye infection at home with any over the counter medications, drops or ointments. This can lead to permanent damage and unnecessary pain or discomfort. I hope this answer was helpful and that Luna feels better soon. Warmest regards to you both!
