Tear sore

You know how some dogs get tear stains by their eyes? Well on only one side Sam has no hair where his tear stain things are. It's really hard to explain, but I don't think it's normal.
Here is some pics of it. (he's black there so it's hard to see clearly)

It looks more like a sore

I would get it checked at the vets.

It kinda does look like a sore. Well first of all I need to know if there is anything I can do for it at home. Right now we don't have the money to bring him to the vet... I will if there's nothing I can do for him at home, though.

The only thing I can suggest is bathe it with salt water but dont get it in his eye as I'm not sure if thats ok. Try looing up on the internet tear spot sores or what to do for sores.

Ok, thanks. I will google it.

I told my mom about it again and she agreed we should take him to the vet because the next time he's going is in April when he gets nuetered. It started bleeding and I'm kind of getting worried. We will set an appiontment tomorrow so we can take him to the vet on Tuesday. I'm glad, plus I can see how much he weighs now.
