Do dogs with inflammation always cry?
Do cats with inflammation cause tears in their eyes?
Yes, cats with inflammation may experience teary eyes. There are several reasons why dogs cry. For example, dogs may cry when they eat food that is too salty, or when they are sick and uncomfortable. Nasal duct blockage, prolonged separation from their owners, dehydration, and excessive excitement can also cause dogs to cry.
Methods for treating inflamed tears
When encountering this situation, gently pull open your dog's eyes and check if there are any foreign objects inside. If so, promptly clean them. Continue to observe whether the eyes are red and swollen, or if there are any injuries. If the eyes are just red and swollen, it is likely due to conjunctivitis, and you can apply pet-specific anti-inflammatory eye drops. If there are injuries or the condition is more severe, consult a veterinarian immediately.
Solutions for teary smell
The solution to a dog's teary smell is as follows: If the smell is caused by eye disease, treat the underlying eye condition, and the teary smell will naturally disappear. If the tear duct is blocked, causing an excessive amount of tears and subsequent smell, wash the tear duct. If the tear production is due to liver issues, consider administering tear-stain removing medication.
How to care for dogs with tears
If your dog's food has a high salt content or causes excessive tear production due to sensitivity, try to feed them dog food with fewer additives. Always ensure your dog drinks enough water, and adding some apple cider vinegar to it can also help. If the hair around your dog's eyes constantly irritates them, causing tears, trim the hair to prevent stimulation. Improperly trimmed hair during grooming may also contribute to the problem.
