Marlin is a bichon. Bichons are known for tearing. Marlin tears more than anything I've ever seen. He ges huge globs of black gunk build up in the corner of each eye. I have been trying to keep up with it.
This morning, Marlin got up and his left eye is sealed shut with eye gunk. I have been using a warm water paper towel, but he refuses to let me sit and hold it in place. So I've only been able to do a little gentle rubbing.
The groomer could take care of it; but the groomer is not open on Mondays.
Do I need to get Marlin to the vet? Does anyone have any ideas?
(I have a closet FULL of ear stuff between all these pets; not one eye cleaner among them!)
