So my dog (6 month old Boxer mix) has a lot of yellow discharge out of his left eye. He has been pawing at it. This has been happening for 3 days now.I'm wiping the discharge every 15-20 minutes.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This mild amount of discharge if it is just periodically and not constant then it is probably normal. However, if this becomes consistent and more severe, have him reevaluated by your veterinarian as this may be due to a corneal injury for example. Best of luck!
