This looks like conjunctivitis (pink eye). Ocular antibiotics are needed. I suggest you get Echo to your vet so you can get the proper medication. ( https://www.petcoach.co/article/conjunctivitis-red-eyes-in-dogs/ )

You can flush the eye with saline eye drops to keep it clean and get the discharge out. You can also apply a warm compress. It seem infected and will likely need antibiotic drops or drops with steroids if there is no ulcer present.

It's very likely to be an eye infection, a yellowish discharge is a typical sign of this condition and often it is the only symptom. i would recommend taking Apollo to the vet as soon as possible in order to get it checked and treated, prescription antibiotic drops will be needed.

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Cash. It looks and sounds like he has an eye infection. Unfortunately this cannot be treated at home. Any eye problem needs to be checked out by a vet promptly as leaving it untreated can lead to vision loss. I would take him into the vet first thing in the morning. I hope this helps!

Does my dog have conjunctivitis? And should I take him to an emergency clinic, or should I wait until tomorrow when normal vet clinics open? He just started having symptoms this morning.
