What Does "Sleep" in the Corners of Dog's Eyes Mean?
Q: My Husky has what we call 'sleep or sand' in the inner corners of his eyes. Lately, the material has been moist and gooey. Should I be concerned?
A: This material in the corner of the eyes may not be an issue and can be cleaned off with warm water. If there is a significant color and texture change there could be an underlying infection. If your pet isn't squinting or rubbing his eyes it is probably not an emergency but I would have your veterinarian take a look. They may wish to prescribe something to help clear this up.
