Possibly an eye infection that started in one dog and has now spread to two other dogs. Have a yellowish brown mucus discharge coming out. Red around the eye

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This may be due to something like an infectious conjunctivitis for example. I recommend that you have them evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They may be able to check for this and other possibilities and treat accordingly with anti-microbial medications. Good luck and have a great day!
