It sounds like your dog is experiencing a significant eye issue, especially with the greenish, pus-like discharge that has been ongoing for over a week. This type of discharge often indicates an infection or another underlying eye condition that needs to be addressed.

In the meantime, here are a few steps you can take at home to help manage the symptoms until you can see a veterinarian:

First, gently clean the discharge from your dog's eyes using a warm, damp cloth. Be careful not to touch the eye itself, and use a separate cloth for each eye to avoid spreading any potential infection.

If your dog is scratching or rubbing her eyes, consider using an Elizabethan collar (E-collar) to prevent further irritation or injury.

Additionally, keep an eye out for any other symptoms such as redness, swelling, or changes in behavior, which could indicate a more serious issue.

Given the duration and nature of the discharge, it's crucial to have your dog seen by a veterinarian as soon as possible. They can perform a comprehensive eye examination to determine the cause of the discharge and prescribe appropriate treatment, which may include antibiotic eye drops or ointments.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
