This is an elderly Pit Bull living in a garage in Florida. It sleeps on concrete. It has a very unsightly skin condition, said to be due to food allergies. The eye pus rings both eyes, or one at a time, and is yellowish, and sometimes greenish.

Generally, green or yellow pus is indicative of an infection. The immune system includes phagocytes which engulf and kill foreign particles and micro-organisms. This generally causes cell death, and these accumulate and produce pus.
If this is your pet or a pet of a neighbour, I would suggest it be taken to a vet as soon as poss. The animal may need antibiotics to clear up the infection. I have never heard of animal food allergies, or indeed of an animal being thus affected by them. It could very well be, however, that there is such a thing as animal food allergies and I'm mistaken. However, I don't think the pus is directly linked to the allergy if this is the case. Perhaps the dog has irritated the eye by scratching, which has caused the infection.

Keratoconjunctivitis Sicca commonly known as DRY EYE can be a cause. It is a very common cause. The Vet would have to determine rather or not this is the cause, "or what is" but could be a cold too. Most unlikely at this time of the year however. Could be caused by Eye Entropion "the lid turns in, and the lashes poke into the eye". Or a number of things. Have your Vet check to make sure, so that you treat it properly. Good luck, keep us informed.

I'm assuming this is not your dog. Whether it is or isn't, it needs to go to the vet asap! Eye problems are very serious and should be treated asap when they develop. If they are not, it can cause blindness! If this is your dog, call your vet NOW to get the dog in. If it's not, the owner needs to be convinced to do the same...or maybe you should consider calling a local animal welfare agency to report neglect if the owner refuses.

First off, why is the poor old thing sleeping on concrete in the garage?? Allergies could cause the pus around the eyes. Any idea what the dog is eating? He should be on a good grain free kibble.

infection. infection. infection. infection. Conjunctivitis. Same thing as infection. Take the dog to a vet. He needs antibiotics, a good bath, and possibly a steroid injection to stop the itching cycle. He also needs a clean place to sleep that is NOT hot and humid.

gross. well all i can tell you is from possible infection. maybe from the condition hes living in. the garage? as you said. take him to a vet, and if the pus stops before you see a vet, take a picture of it.

That is so sad. I wish i had not seen this question because it brings tears to my eyes. The dog is unhealhy and probably praying for death. Maybe call the animal shelter or offer the owners your help.

Death.
"Yellow matter custard, dripping from a DEAD dog's eye. ..."
Try poking it with a stick and see if it moves.
