My dog's eye has discharge since changing food. Is he allergic?

Question

We changed food when we became a member and I have noticed in one eye of my 2 year old Heinz 57 that it has stuff coming out at first I thought it was when he would wake up and now I noticed it more often do you think his allergic to the new food he doesn't seem to like it

Thanks for visiting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! If your pet Batman has eye discharge that is yellow/green then that is a sign of conjunctivitis which can be caused by an environmental allergy but it is more likely caused by a scratch/ulcer on the eye itself and not allergy related at all. I would recommend taking him in to your vet to get the eye examined. He will likely need to be placed on a topical eye antibiotic ointment to get this to heal well. I hope that Batman's eye resolves soon! : ) Best wishes and take care.
