Yorkshire terriers are a breed that tend to have watery eyes. Excessive tears can be caused by blocked tear ducts, allergies, light sensitivity or pain, etc. Brown discharge is often older tears that have dried and stained. Creamy discharge can indicate infection or inflammation of the eyes and should be evaluated by a veterinarian. I would recommend that you use a warm wet washcloth to gently clean around Yoggi's eyes twice a day for a few days. If it doesn't seem improved or additional symptoms develop, then he should be examined by a vet.
