gizzie has had a discharge coming out of her left eye for the last couple of days at first I thought it was just where her hair gets into them but it's never done that before and its only one eye. I didnt post in the sick section because i dont feel this is an emergency but it's kinda scaring me its a thick yellowy discharge.. what do you think??

If it's yellow or green it is most likely an eye infection. Is there swelling at all around the eye? When Lacy had an eye infection she had yellowish green discharge coming out of her eyes (sometime drying and sealing the eye shut) and you could tell it was puffy around her eye. If you pulled her eyelid back the inside was red and swollen.

Ellie had that not too long ago. It was a white-yellow discharge out of one eye then spreading to the other. Her eyes were red and she was treated for conjunctivis. Now her eyes are slightly runny but not too goopy and not red. If they are red I would go get eye drops from the vet.
