Thank you for submitting your question regarding your dog. He will need to see his veterinarian. I am concerned that he has an eye infection. He may require an antibiotic ointment or drop. Depending on his exam findings, eye tests may be recommended to ensure that he does not have another condition such as decreased tear production, a scratch on the surface of the eye or an immune condition. In the meantime, keep his eyes clean and do not allow him to paw at them. I hope this information helps!
