Kamal Haqqi Webboard User Reg: 07-05-2005 Posts: 27 Loc: Houston, TX Offline	I had a question dealing with my 7 month old GSD. Every morning he has green mucus in his eyes. I wipe it off and then a few hours later, its back. I was wondering if that is normal or does he have health problems? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Meet Sabre

Is the dog rubbing his eyes with his paws? Is the central portion of the eye (ie the cornea) clear or hazy? Usually the vast majority of conjunctivitis cases are viral (over 95%) and do not require any treatment.

Kamal Haqqi Webboard User Reg: 07-05-2005 Posts: 27 Loc: Houston, TX Offline	The conjunctiva is white. He doesn't rub his eyes. The cornea is clear, not hazy. This has been going on for about a month but I didn't think that it was serious. I'll have a vet check it out. Hopefully there's nothing wrong. Thanks guys. Meet Sabre
