Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. You can keep Colin's face clean with a damp, warm washcloth. If the discharge is continuous, or he is squinting or eyes are matted closed he should see a veterinarian to determine the cause of the ocular discharge. Do not use any sort of eye drops without a veterinary prescription. Treatment will vary depending on the cause of the infection or inflammation.
