Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Eye discharge can be observed with conditions such as corneal ulcers, allergies or even dry eye. These conditions are usually approached and treated differently. For that reason, I recommend that you have Tabitha evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Your veterinarian would be able to start therapy based on findings. Best of luck and happy new year!
