Solutions to serious tear stains in Shih Tzu dogs:
First of all, when the Shih Tzu has cracks, parents should first go to the hospital for relevant examinations on behalf of the Shih Tzu. After ruling out the possibility of disease, parents should provide appropriate home care at home.
Parents should feed their Shih Tzus scientifically proportioned, nutritious, and vitamin-rich foods to keep their Shih Tzus healthy.
When a Shih Tzu has severe tear stains, parents must remember not to use eye ointment to care for the Shih Tzu’s eyes, because the eye ointment is very thick and can easily block the Shih Tzu’s tear ducts. Eye drops should be chosen for cleaning and disinfection.
Note to parents: When cleaning tear stains on your Shih Tzu, you should use warm water and a soft towel to gently wipe around the Shih Tzu’s eyes. The area around the Shih Tzu's eye sockets is the place where dirt and bacteria are most likely to accumulate, so parents should pay special attention to caring for the eye sockets when cleaning the Shih Tzu's eyes.
In addition, if the hair on the head of the Shih Tzu is too long and the parents do not trim or tie it up in time, it is very likely that the hair will continue to irritate the Shih Tzu’s eye conjunctiva, causing the Shih Tzu’s eyes to often shed tears. . This situation causes tear stains on the Shih Tzu. You only need to shorten the hair on the top of the head of the Shih Tzu to prevent the hair from overly irritating the eyes.
When there is excessive secretion at the corners of the Shih Tzu’s eyes or they are relatively dry, parents can use some saline to moisturize the area around the Shih Tzu’s eyes first, so that cleaning will be very simple.
If the parents still have no improvement in the secretion from the corners of the Shih Tzu’s eyes after about three days of home care, they should be sent to the pet hospital in time to check whether there is any abnormal eye disease in the Shih Tzu’s eyes.
