You can use a clean wet wipe or cotton swab to wipe it off the secretion of the eyes, and then drop some eye drops on its eyes to soothe the eyes to maintain eye hygiene. If the dog's nose is dry and cracked, you can apply some glycerin to the dry and cracked areas. If it is obviously congested, you can smell the steam of hot ginger water and clear the nasal cavity through fumigation auxiliary treatment.
