For Teddy shovelers, seeing Teddy with eye droppings can be a common bother. So, why does Teddy have eye droppings?
First of all, puppy eyes, like us humans, produce some natural secretions. These secretions are mainly a mixture of tears and other substances, which sometimes mix with dust in the air to form eye droppings. This is a normal physiological phenomenon, just like we humans also have eye droppings.
However, if you notice that Teddy has too much eye droppings, abnormal color, or other symptoms, such as red, swollen eyes, watery eyes, etc., then there may be a problem. This could be due to several reasons:
1.Canine distemper. It is a very serious disease, and in addition to the increase in eye droppings, it is accompanied by symptoms such as increased body temperature and purulent discharge from the nose. If canine distemper is suspected, the dog should be taken to the veterinarian immediately.
2.Congenital lacrimal gland occlusion. Inflammation of the lacrimal gland can lead to excessive secretions, which need to be addressed with surgery.
3.Inverted eyelashes. If Teddy's eyelashes do not grow in the right direction, they can irritate the surface of the eyeball, resulting in long-term tearing and eye droppings. This condition needs to be treated at the hospital and the inverted eyelashes should be plucked regularly.
4.Unbalanced diet. Too much meat or food eaten by humans can cause the dog's body to "get on fire", resulting in excess eye droppings. At this time, you need to adjust the diet structure of Teddy so that he eats more vegetables and fruits.
Knowing the above reasons, we can solve the problem in a targeted manner. If it is because of canine distemper, then you need to seek medical attention promptly;If you have a blocked lacrimal gland or inverted eyelashes, you also need to go to the hospital for surgery**;If it's a dietary problem, adjusting your diet is fine.
While dealing with these issues, there are also some everyday ways to help Teddy clean up his eyes:
Use special eye drops or ointment. Erythromycin or chlortetracycline eye ointment works very well, and after two days you can see noticeable results when used three times a day.
Wipe Teddy's eyes with a cotton pad dipped in water. Note that immediately after the eye drops, use a tissue to absorb the hairs on the outside of the eyes, and insist on it for about a week to get great improvement.
Keep Teddy's diet healthy. You can switch to natural** and feed some hot food to avoid food on fire.
Overall, Teddy's eye droppings are not unsolvable, and with a lot of care, you can reduce these problems and make their eyes bright and cute again. Hopefully your little teddy will be able to get rid of eye droppings soon!
