My Black lab has yellowish dried crusty gunk around his left eye. I have wiped it off many times but it keeps returning every day. What could it be?

Poor pup! Recurring yellowish discharge is a common sign of an eye infection, or an injury to the eye such as a corneal scratch or ulcer. He will need prescription eye ointment from your veterinarian to treat this problem, so I would recommend taking him in for an exam as soon as you are able to.
