Thanks for reaching out about Peanut Butter and including photos. The ocular discharge and crusts are possibly an ocular infection, foreign body in the eye, corneal scratch or other concern. Dental disease (cheek teeth) can place internal pressure on the lacrimal duct and compromise tear flow. Since eating less, could be painful and a veterinary visit is recommended to assist with a diagnostic/treatment plan. You can try offering water and a food slurry via a syringe. Good luck.
