My dog has gooey eye discharge. Could it be allergies? What helps?

Hi there, I’ve noticed my pup is having producing more eye junk than normal and that it’s more mucus than his typical little morning crust. The trees and flowers have just started blooming, is it possible that he has seasonal allergies? If so what can I do to help? If not, what else could it be? Thanks!

Yes, it could be allergies but it could also be conjunctivitis. If he seems otherwise OK I suggest you try this product. If after a few days of use he does not seem better then I think a vet exam would be warranted. https://vetericyn.com/product/vetericyn-plus-antimicrobial-ophthalmic-gel/
