: Hi everyone,
: I have a 2 month old male JRT with one eye that has brown around it, and the other is all white. My question is about the white eye. It seems to always be a bit runny. I actually have a pony that has similar markings, and my vet said he's light sensitive. Could the same thing be going on woth my puppy? Do other people have similar runny eyes? I have a vet appointment for regular shots tomorrow, and am planning to ask then, but I figured I'd ask here too. Thanks for any info,
: Heather

Hi, Heather,

Have the vet give the pup a puppy wormer. If your pup is only 2 months old, it won't hurt to worm her. I've found this is connected to runny eyes in young pups. You'll want to bring home a dose to give her down the road a bit, too.
