    Does he have Cherry Eye? http://www.peteducation.com/article.cfm?c=2+2092&a...

    It could be entropion. http://www.peteducation.com/article.cfm?c=2+2092&a...

    I would take him to the vet to get it checked out properly, weeping from the eye that needs cleaning that many times could have an underlying problem.

    i've had 2 boxer dogs, and had the same thing. its very common for boxer dogs to have lots of gunk from their eye.if it really is a lot then you might want to check with the vet that he doesn't have an eye infection, butmy dogs never had any problems with their eyes, and they still had lots of sleep coming from them
