Why does my dog have snotty eye discharge in one eye that keeps returning?

Question

My BigBoi has a snotty like substance in his eye. I clean it daily, but it keeps coming back. I don't know what to do. I thought it was allergies, but I don't know. It's only his left eye. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Male | neutered

Hi, and thanks for your question. Although a pic of the problem would help to determine the underlying cause of the problem, that is likely to be due to a mild to moderate conjunctivitis, probably secondary to a trauma or infection. Allergies usually affect both eyes. A check up would be needed as appropriate treatment would include antibiotics and anti-inflammatory eye drops. Corneal injuries must be ruled out as well. Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
