My dog has yellow eye discharge. What are treatments and costs?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Labradoodle | Male | neutered | 2 years and 2 months old | 60 lbs

Rumple seems to have an eye infection. It was originally only one eye that was producing yellow discharge, but now both eyes are. It seems to have occurred overnight as on Saturday both eyes were fine, but on Sunday I noticed a lot of discharge in one eye. What are the typical exams/ medications/ tests done for eye infections? How much should I estimate to have to pay for treatment/ tests? No current medications, no known allergies, no change in diet, approx. 65lbs

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Rumple. I agree, it does sound like he has an eye infection. Please know that prices vary between clinics, so I cannot give you an exact cost. An exam is typically between $45-$55. The vet will likely want to stain his eye with fluorescein to make sure there isn't a corneal ulcer, and will prescribe a topical medication for his eye. Those will be additional costs on top of the exam. I would expect to pay between $100-$200. Any eye problem is an emergency, so you need to take him into a vet now. Best of luck.
