eye boogers...

• eye boogers... RidgebackGermansShep Posted : 5/16/2006 2:56:48 PM My one year old german shepherd is a very healthy boy, but every morning he has these huge, white eye boogers in his eyes. I usually just wipe them out with a wet napkin. I am just curious if there is any way to prevent them? He used to suffer from allergies, but he's been looking really good these past 5 months...

• glenmar Posted : 5/16/2006 2:59:51 PM Sounds like just "sleep" in his eyes.  My shepherds have that some mornings too and I don't know of anyway to prevent them. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• marlania Posted : 5/17/2006 1:25:15 AM Sadly, the first thing I do in the morning is wipe eye boogers...especially Grey's because his are always crusty. Man, I need a real hobby. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• sara Posted : 5/17/2006 7:59:59 AM Hi all, I am new to the board.  My Bernese Mountain dog puppy has eye boogies but all of the time not just in the morning.  I am always wiping her eyes. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• probe1957 Posted : 5/17/2006 9:23:38 AM Odie used to have eye boogies all the time.  Then, I learned right here on Idog, that Eukanuba is not a good food, so I changed foods.  End of problem.  Was it coincidence?  Dunno and  YMMV. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• pofi_pasquale Posted : 5/17/2006 9:39:18 AM Pofi never really used to have any regular ocular discharge (I was trying to avoid saying eye boogers - but you know what I mean), but since bringing Mia into our home, they both have it and not just in the morning.  It's a bit less in terms of VOLUME then it was a month ago, but still, I keep thinking trading something back and forth.  No change in diet or treats for Pofi, so that's not it...(he's been eating California Natural and Barking at the Moon - low or no grain).   So I'm part of the eye wiping crowd first thing in the morning now, too....but it seemed to start with adding Mia. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• schleide Posted : 5/17/2006 10:10:23 AM Wesleys' were pretty bad (he had conjunctivitis twice, but even when he didn't he had eye boogies all the time) and then we switched foods.  The decrease is about 75% - I was surprised - but it really made a difference. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• gradyupmybutt Posted : 5/17/2006 5:47:55 PM I'm a morning booger wiper too.  Although, now that you mentioned it, I changed the boys food last bag.  I just got a different formula of Canadae.  I just noticed that Grady's boogers are smaller & both his & Aspen's coats are soooo much sleeker.  It's like they both just had baths. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Justine Freeman Posted : 5/17/2006 10:31:37 PM Me too! I wipe goobies out of Marley's eyes every morning. He sits there and looks at me with a goofy look on his face while I wait for the water to get warm... 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• chris Posted : 5/17/2006 11:46:00 PM sounds just like sleep buggers too me...  People will get them as well if you have to much heat in the room... if it is just too stuffy... 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
