My dog has mucus eye discharge after sleeping. What's wrong?

Question

My Adult German Short Hair Pointer keeps getting Mucus like discharge in His Eyes after sleeping, I tried Terramycin Ointment applied a couple Times a Day but that doesn’t seem to be helping much!? Any recommendations? Pet's info: Dog | German Shorthaired Pointer (duplicate) | Male | unneutered | 7 years and 4 months old | 50 lbs

Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. The discharge you are seeing may also be due to dry eye (keratoconjunctivitis sicca) and could also be an allergy. I would recommend having Tibo examined by a veterinarian so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. I would recommend having a Schirmer Tear Test done to rule out dry eye as a cause. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
