My puppy has red, watery, goopy eyes. Should I be concerned?

Question

Hi there. I have an 8 month old puppy with watery and goopy eyes. They are also slightly red. They were kind of crusty when he woke up this morning. Is this something I need to worry about? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Male | neutered | 8 months and 4 days old | 65 lbs

His corneas appear clear in the pictures and he is holding them open which are all good signs. You can rinse them with saline eye drops and apply a warm compress to help with the discharge and the redness. This can be from an infection or an allergy and irritant. If it continues after 48 hours or you does not want to open his eyes or they seem cloudy, then he should be checked by a vet.
