For got to add - i have two does, she is the only one with problems
Sounds like she has some kinda infection. It can also be one of the early signs of pink eye. It could also be chlamydia or mycoplasma. Goats eye infections can be very contagious. I would separate her from the rest of the herd. I would maybe have your vet check her out and see what kinda infection she has going on their, if she does

With having this problem for over a year, you may want to contact a vet. Allergies are certainly a possibility.

We did bring them both (we have two does) to the vet about five months ago for a check up - vaccinations, CAE test etc. The vet didn't mention anything, and other than lice they came back healthy...
I will attach a picture if it helps

I don't think its an infection cuz the other goat is totally fine, unless its just not contagious. We got them from two different farms, but other than that nothing has happened to one and not to the other - same food, exercise, etc.

BTW they are both pregnant and will give birth any day now🙃 but this has been going on way before they were pregnant
This is their first time with babies!!
