The last couple of days I have noticed Brutus' eyes are wetter then normal. He is not scratching or anything but they are constantly wet. I was wondering if anyone else has this going on and what should I do about it? Should I have the vet come for a visit? I tend to panic and overreact when it comes to my baby so any info would be great. :confused:

I could be environmental allergies. If his eyes are clear with no strange colored discharge I would just wait and see what happens. Have you given him any new food or treats? Sometimes this can cause watery eyes. If you need to do something benadryl 1mg per lb of bully twice a day will probably dry the eyes up but doing nothing is probably fine also.

nothing new and it almost looks like he is crying. just clear wet, no funky colors. not goopy. My allergies have really been bugging me the last couple of days so i'm guessing maybe he has the same thing?

You are so not alone w your worry! Lol allergies are crazy right now so it could be that. Is he blinking or squinting a lot or is it just wet?

It could be from a growing head if Brutus is a puppy. Fergus will have watery eye (looks wet like he was crying not eye boogers) and I can tell he is experiencing some growing pains because he will go to town on his nylabone

Omg I wish my vet made house calls! Does it cost much more than an office visit? I would feel better about the fee if they traveled to me!

Just realized I was no help at all lol.

I would have it checked out just bc I tend to worry myself sick otherwise. Mack has dry eye which actually my vet explained as too much tear production as an attempt to correct the dryness, but macks eyes get green goo if we dont do his eye drops so maybe just wet is nothing to worry about...

Just realized I gave a conflicting answer so still wasnt any help lol! :banghead:

Hi, you already got great advice from everyone. I was going to suggest allergies as well, try some Benadryl and see if there are any changes to his watery eyes, then it's probably allergies. You could also go to the drugstore and buy some over the counter eye drops and see if that helps. Hope you find a solution to his watery eyes, and hope he's feeling better soon.

Brutus is 8mos old so I guess that would be considered a pup still. My vet told me he will grow until approx 9mos. This is my first Bulldog so I am learning alot as I go along. I thought I did extensive research before I got him but boy oh boy thank god for you guys on here.

It isn't much more than an office visit. Maybe $10. Just very easy for me because he takes care of the rest of my managerie(two labs and a cat) that do not like to go bye-bye like Brutus does.

Could be allergies (benedryl 3x a day... 1mg per pound of pup) , inverted eyelashs, or anything else. Next vet visit have his eyes looked at. As far as growth, Bulldogs grow UP till about 1 year and then OUT (broad, chest) until about 2 yrs.
