Dog Eye Discharge

Problems like a dog eye discharge may be easily handled, or, may be one of many canine illness symptoms. Let's find out.

Why Elimination is a Canine Illness Symptom

First lets talk about canine illness symptoms. Toxins are often expelled within tears or gummy matter from the eyes. The body may also get rid of environmental toxins or food allergens through the ears (waxy buildup) or the skin (hot spots etc.).

A human example would be a pimple. A pimple isn't a problem with the skin. It is a toxin the body is expelling. When the toxic waste is trapped in the body by taking drugs to stop that stage of elimination, it will choose another path.

Those of us used to allopathic medicine see it as a new disease. An extreme result from this repeated pattern of treatment, is cancer, because the body finally gives up trying to purge.

Reasons for Dog Eye Discharge

For problems with dog food, start by eliminating known toxins I list at Healthy Dog Diet.

Environmental Cause I Found

My dog Bonz had a chronic eye discharge. Mostly clear but never ending, the rims of his eyes were abnormally pink. I didn't adopt him until he was nearly five-years-old but I found out he'd always had this problem.

I am embarrassed to say, I figured it out. I fed him better food than he'd had previously but there was one common denominator. There were always cigarette smokers in his house. Now that smoking is only allowed outdoors, Bonz looks better, feels better, and I smoke less.

What You Can Do Now

There are homeopathic products on the market that may help or eliminate runny eyes. I recommend products at Earth Animal for homeopathic remedies. For herbal remedies, please contact me.

If you are thrifty and want to do something right now, here are some things you can try:

• Cod Liver Oil - One drop in each eye three or four times a day, makes a good eyewash for all irritations.
• Similasan Eye Drops are homeopathic eye drops sold in many stores in the U.S. Even Walmart carries them. Three I've used for myself and my dogs are for conjunctivitis, dry eye and allergy eye. A bargain at seven dollars each.
• Eyebright - If you already have this herb tincture, you can dilute it. ONLY six drops of eyebright in one cup of distilled water. Eyebright is used internally as a rule so to use it externally it MUST BE VERY DILUTED.
