My puppy has white eye discharge and is tired. Is this normal?

Question

My puppy has white dandruff looking stuff under his eye. Is that normal? He’s been very tired lately and doesn’t feel like walking when I take him out! He has a good appetite and likes to play but is sleeping a lot. He has also recently lost 2 baby teeth. Pet's info: Dog | Goldendoodle | Male | neutered | 3 months and 25 days old | 30 lbs

Hello, sorry to hear about Pax. It could be that he is having normal eye secretions that are becoming stuck on his fur. As long as he is not itching at his eyes, having profuse persistent discharge, squinting, or having a red eye then I would continue to monitor him. You can use a damp cotton ball to wipe the fur around his eye and keep it clean. If the discharge worsens, or if he develops any sneezing or nasal discharge then you should have him evaluated by a veterinarian as this may indicate an upper respiratory infection. Hope this helps and best of luck.
