    I know you already said you're going to the vet. I would suggest that first.

    Here's a little story though and advice if it doesn't clear up...

    King had gotten an eye infection and we tried treating it with something from the vet's. It didn't go away so we got something else. It still didn't go away and spread to the other eye. Something clicked in my head. I decided to try plain ol tap water. (Our is chlorinated. That's the key point to this.) With in about three days both his eyes were totally cleared up. He hated these new drops and i know it stung... but it worked! (I continued with the drops for a little over a week. He had the infection for well over a month and i didn't want it coming back.)

    Please, if your dog is arthritic look into getting it Elk Velvet Antler. Look up my posts on it, PM me, or look it up on a search engine; but please if you love your dog and want it to live many more years consider this option. I've seen so many posts on here about dogs needlessly suffering. I can't make a new post about EVA every time so this plea is going here. EVA also helps with other ailments such as anemia.

    Just wondering how your boy Jack is. I hope it was nothing serious but I too have always heard that green is infection.

    I had to laugh when I read your title...I didn't know anyone else called the stuff in their eyes boogers but me

    I call em "eye goo-gies"
    Star has gotten icky ones before, I think she got an infection from small flies in the summer. the vet gave us drops which cleared it up. She got a mild infection the next summer, I just kept wiped her eye with warm water on a washcloth several times a day, and that time it cleared up on it's own in a couple days. If it's spreding, I would get drops from the vet. Poor Jackie boy, hope he's better soon.

    Take Jack to the vet to get some drops. After the drops, the eye boogies should start to clear away.

    How is Jack doing? Is he feeling better?
    Thank you so much for my siggy, kittycats_delight!

    Sorry for not updating!!

    I called and ended up getting him some drops. They are no longer bright green, more of a brownish color now...so they're helping I suppose! Thanks for your replies, guys!
