My new puppy's eyes are watery. Is it normal, and what can I do?

Hello, my dog is a chiweenie and his eyes have been very watery since the first day I got him. Is this something I should be worried about? I included a picture of his eyes. Everything else is normal, he plays, and acts like a normal puppy. Are there eye drops I can give him to help? Or is there something else I can do? Thanks.

He is so cute! This can be a very normal thing is dogs like him. I wouldn’t be too worried unless he is ever favoring his eyes or if the discharge become thick and green or yellow. You can try some Benadryl to see if it helps decrease the watering. See link below for dosing. I hope this helps! https://www.petcoach.co/canigive/dog/benadryl/
