My dog has eye discharge and stained fur. How can I treat this?

Question

I took my dogs to the vet because their undereye was stained I thought because they were tearing up for some reason, he asked me if there was any discharge I said no and he said it could be allergies, but now there is discharge every morning and throughout the day. How can I treat this? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | neutered | 4 years and 9 months old | 32 lbs

Hello. Other than cleaning the discharge as it appears each day with a little warm water, you can flush the eyes with artificial tears to remove any allergens that may be affecting the cornea. This is not a cure, so if the discharge persists, worsens, or Iker shows any signs of pain or discomfort in his eyes, redness or conjunctival swelling, please see your veterinarian at your earliest convenience. Iker may have mild allergies, but he may also be developing conjunctivitis so do not let it go on too long without following up with your veterinarian.
