Puppies watery eyes

Post by Rolexrocks »

My 10 week old puppy has watery eyes, she is teething like crazy and I have had her to the vet who didn't seem too concerned. This was nearly a month ago. If anybody has any advice on something I can use to help keep around her eyes dry as I dont want her to get sore that would be great.

Epiphora is a condition that causes an abnormal overflow of tears. Causes of epiphora due to the shape of the eyes is seen in many breeds. The overproduction of tears can be congenital due to distichiasis – turning in of the eyelashes, or entropion – the turning in of the eyelid. Young shelties, shih tzus, Lhasa apsos, cocker spaniels, pekingese, bulldogs, dachshunds, and miniature poodles are most commonly affected with distichia. Entropion is most commonly seen in some Chinese shar peis, pugs, mastiffs, poodles, Labrador retrievers and chow chows. The upper or lower lid may be affected. This condition may occur secondary to eye irritation.
