My dog's eye is squinting and wet. Should I see a vet immediately?

Question

My dog had been squinting a lot/having a hard time opening her eyes, especially the left. The fur below is damp too but no other visible discharge. I don't know when it started but Mom said it had been going on for some days already. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | unspayed

It sounds like Choco has a severe eye infection, and she needs to see a vet immediately. Any eye infection should be considered an emergency, as leaving it untreated can lead to vision loss. The vet can confirm she has an eye infection, and can give her medication to treat it.
