We had something close to what you have shown. One of our Cockers was adopted blind and has been going to an eye doctor in Nashville. He had low tear production so he was placed on drops to increase production. His eyes started draining very bad so we returned to the vet. She cut back on the med, but told us to clean his eyes several times daily. We use a warm wash cloth several times a day and they look much better now. She also told us the extra tears can cause his skin to become infected and start problems. I think I would start with my vet to get control of the rawness and once that is accomplished, try to clean them several times a day. There might even be something to slow down the tear production. I wish you the very best of luck with your furbaby.

Put a pea-size dab of Aquaphor healing ointment on the raw area. Keep doing this regularly until it heals. When the area gets “eye boogies” there, put a little Aquaphor on it, then push the eye goop out of the hair and area. Aquaphor, made by Eucerin, can be purchased at any pharmacy such as CVS or Target in the hand creams section. It’s similar to Vaseline petroleum jelly. You may have a dog with over active tear ducts in which case you should get some drops from the vet.
