Your little dog may have conjunctivitis-a superficial bacterial infection of the eye. It can cause green/yellow discharge and redness of the white part of the eye. Some dogs can be painful and will rub at the eye.
It is important to have your dog see a veterinarian to have the eye stained with Fluorescein to make sure the cornea (outer surface of the eye) is intact and there is no corneal ulcer. If there is no ulcer present then an ophthalmic antibiotic with a steroid can be used. Steroids can only be used if the cornea is intact; steroids will really help reduce redness and discomfort while the antibiotic will treat the infection.
