Answer by  katharine (3981)

Always make sure the eyes are clean and don't have a lot of gunk under them. You can ask your vet about cleaning liquids or tear stain drops if that's a problem with your dog.

Cocker spaniels are known for watery and mucus covered eyes. The best thing to do is make sure hair is clipped back away from the eye to avoid irritation and build up. Take a damp cloth and wipe around the eyes daily or as needed. There are also pet products available to help remove build up.

Feed your dog a heaping spoonful of all natural (greek is best) yogurt every morning. They love it. It helps with the "weeping" and stops the discoloration from this problem.
