My dog's eye is watering excessively all of a sudden. Should I worry?

Question

My dogs left eye has always watered and he had it tested when he was 20 weeks old which was fine. Recently it is watering a lot more, it doesn't seem to bother him but I am concerned as it's not usually like this and hasn't been before. Pet's info: Dog | Beagle | Male | unneutered | 1 year and 1 month old

Increased tear production can be secondary to different issues affecting the eye. Roscoe might have a little foreign body under the eyelid or a superficial abrasion of the cornea called ulcera or might have an inflammation or infection of the conjunctiva. I have just listed the most common causes of eye discharge but given the complexity and fragility of the area I would strongly suggest to have Roscoe checked by a veterinarian for a full ophthalmologic examination.
