Hello and welcome to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. A slight brown discharge can just be crusting of tears that occurs when there is a bit of a virus. These usually go away on their own. Natural tears are often all that is required. I recommend just monitoring it for now. If there is any squinting, cloudiness/redness or blueness of the eye itself, or any yellow/green discharge, then please return to the vet. Best of luck with Whiskey.
