Flash has always had watery eyes. I mainly thought it was because he was teething. For unknown reasons it would improve and then it would get really bad and then improve again.
But now he is a year old and the last 2 weeks they have developed a BAD smell to them. I wipe them nightly with a cotton ball and water and then dry them with a soft towel. He has always had a problem with staining but the horrible smell is something new.
At first I thought it was his ears but no they appear fine. It is defiantly coming from his eyes. I have heard this could be yeast and caused by an allergy. The last week I have started him on a Turkey dog food that is free from Corn, wheat, & soy. I know if it's a food allergy this could take a long time to sort out but it's at least a start.
If I can't get to the bottom of this soon I think a vet visit may be needed. Any ideas on what I should do or what would cause the horrible smell?
Thanks
