One official name for eye boogers is rheum. Rheum is the natural discharge of the eye, formed from a combination of mucus, tears, dust, and even skin cells from the eyelids. The eye produces rheum all dayâ¦ so why does it build up overnight? When weâre awake, blinking washes rheum and tears away so we donât get a buildup of sleepies.
Well, doggie boogers or eye discharge is common in dogs. It can be a sign of something serious or just allergies. Most dogs experience eye discharge because of dirt or dust getting into their eye, which is normal. Some may experience allergic eye drainage, which is also normal.
