Why does my dog have green eye discharge and red eye? Kidney related?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Beagle | Female | spayed | 40 lbs

Hi, my dog has been having a green discharge from her eye not too much but I see it and just wipe it. She seems in a great mood and is eating just fine. I’ve noticed sometimes her eye a little red too. She was diagnosed with kidney disease a few months back but has been doing well and it is stabilized. Could this have anything to do with that? im in Florida and we have a hurricane watch but is there anything I can give her for now? Since I probably won’t be able to take her to the vet.

It sounds like Nyla could have an eye infection, and that does not have anything to do with her kidney disease. It's best if you can get her into a vet now to get eye ointment to treat it, but if you can't, gently wipe away and discharge with a damp, soft cloth. Get her into a vet as soon as you can.
