Can Teddy's tear stains heal on their own?

Teddy's tear stains cannot heal on their own. The owner needs to help the Teddy clean and treat it. Generally, it depends on the Teddy's diet with high salt content. Drinking too little water will cause internal heat, which will lead to tear stains, so it is best to adjust the Teddy's diet in time.

Solutions to Teddy’s tear stains:

1. For tear stains caused by blocked nasolacrimal ducts, you can purchase eye drops to clear the nasolacrimal ducts. Treat the dog with eye drops every day.

2. You can clean and massage the dog’s eyes every day to help clear the nasolacrimal duct and reduce the flow of tears.

3. If you find that Teddy has tears or eye mucus, use a clean wet towel to wipe the area around Teddy’s eyes in a timely manner. Pay special attention to the eye sockets, because this is where dirt easily accumulates.

4. The hair around the Teddy's eyes needs to be trimmed frequently to prevent the hair around the Teddy's eyes from being too long and irritating the eyes, excessive secretion of tears, and reducing the occurrence of tear stains.
