Then, use gentle strokes to wipe the gunk from your dog’s eyes, rinsing out the cloth between strokes if necessary. Additionally, make sure you use water rather than soap or shampoo, which can irritate your dog’s eyes. You should also take your dog to the vet’s, so they can check to make sure the discharge isn’t a sign of a serious health problem.
