Need second opinion my pups goopy saggy eyes - pictures
Sorry I have been asking sooo many questions lately and this post is long, but heres the info and I would really love to know if this is normal or not. Around the 9th I noticed my 9.5 week old puppy had some discharge and goobers in his eyes. Whatever the red bit is under his eyes looked a little inflamed and his lower eyelids also looked saggy. This continued for a few days and I got worried and took him to the vet on the 11th. The vet said it was maybe some hair irritating his eyes or eyelid shape but not to worry unless there was green or yellow discharge. She gave me some antibiotics (metronidazole) and his lower eyelid seemed to sit normal again. I was instructed to give them to him for 3 days, which I did. Yesterday (4 days after I stopped the antibiotics) I noticed his lower lids are again sagging and this morning he had more clear/white goobers in his eyes and some brown as well. They tear a lot when he eats or his head is down and they always seem to be weeping a little bit no matter what he's doing. I keep thinking this isn't normal even though the vet said it was nothing to worry about, but I see pictures of his littermates and they all have clear eyes and non-saggy eyelids. Any thoughts? Is this the start of conjunctivitis? Allergies? He doesn't seem to be in pain but he paws at his eyes once or twice a day. He is now 11 weeks and going to the vet in a week for his next set of shots, so hopefully I can re-ask the vet then. The pictures are mostly views from above since I wanted to show you exactly what I'm talking about, but they don't look as bad when you look at him head on. Sorry they're kind of gross. He has been on Blue Buffalo Wilderness Puppy his whole life. I hope its nothing, but I'm a little worried.
