Unsure - gunk in eye

It depends on the nature of the gunk. Milky white discharge is just be normal cleaning fluid but anything else may signify some irritation or potential infection in the eye/haypoke. Only a hands on vet check can tell you whether there is an issue though m so please do see a vet if you are concerned. Eyes (eye injury, squinting, clouding of the eye, redness etc) are considered urgent and do need to be seen by a vet promptly

If there is just a tiny bit of crust or gunk that has spilled over, you generally do not have to worry.
