The day before yesterday, I received a question from a Bichon Frize friend on QQ to the dog disease column team: "My little Bichon Frize has severe tear stains. How can I remove the tear stains on my Bichon Frize?".
This friend needs to understand one thing first: dogs like Bichons have tear stains because of their species, not entirely because of eye defects. There are also many factors that cause tear stains in Bichon Frize dogs, such as inflammation, irritation of the fur around the eyes, and tear duct obstruction.
Bichon Frize (confirm introduction)
1. First of all, you need to understand why the Bichon Frize dog sheds tears
1. Diet: If your Bichon Frize dog eats If the taste is very heavy, then you should be careful. The tear stains are probably due to this. Quickly change to something lighter and not containing salt (dog food is very important. Sometimes you change the dog food, you will find The unexpected effect depends on what kind of dog food your dog is suitable for. Some people shed tears after eating Carby).
2. Getting angry: If your dog has very yellow stools and often refuses to drink water, and the tears are probably due to this, you should always drink more water. Some friends said that adding some apple cider vinegar to the water can also have a certain effect.
3. Grooming problem: This is the easiest to find. If you find that the hair around the dog's eyes often sticks into your eyes, it means that the grooming is not beautiful. You might as well cut it yourself.
4. Tear duct obstruction: This is more troublesome and requires a little treatment, and eye drops are a must. (Some friends recommend using "Lambert Tashi Wellen-Tear Stain Remover", which costs 25 a bottle, which is very good. Others can also use Weidi's.)
2. How to improve What is the disadvantage of Bichon Frize dogs crying?
1. Food can reduce the tear stains of Bichon Frize, mainly if the intake of vitamin C is sufficient. The nutritional content of food produced by ordinary families is not sufficient, compare it. The most convenient, nutritious and comprehensive food should be dog food! At the same time, the quality of dog food is also complex. If dog owners are in good condition, they may choose better brands of dog food.
2. Shearing In addition to improving the problem of raging tears in food, another problem is shearing. Bichon Frize's fur often gets stuck in the eyes easily, causing tears. Therefore, when cutting hair on the face, use small scissors to carefully cover the hair around the eyes so that it does not easily enter the eyes and reduce tear stains. (If your little Bichon Frize is suffering from tear duct obstruction, you might as well believe that eye drops can play a role in cleaning the tear duct.
It is recommended that you use Cardinal or Bobo brand eye wash and tear stain remover. Use it every day to clean and wipe with a cotton swab to remove red permeate around the eyes, comb the hair around the eyes, and clean Combing the red area will help reduce the crying phenomenon and clean the area around the eyes. However, not all cubs are suitable for this method. Some cubs with severe tear duct obstruction due to genetic factors can only achieve control and cleaning effects even if they are maintained every day, and cannot achieve practical results. Feet clean away tears. )
3. Massage the canthus of the dog’s eyes. There is something that dog owners tend to underestimate. That is, after applying eye drops to your Bichon Frize, you must remember to massage the canthus of your dog’s eyes. This is very important. Don't stop after instilling the eye drops. Remember to massage so that the effect will be better.
3. Pay attention to 3 points:
1. When treating tear stains on Bichon Frize, it is best not to use eye ointment. This makes it easier to block the tear duct.
2. It is said that for bichon bears whose tear duct obstruction is not serious, Xueliang oral essence will also be effective. And pay attention to your diet, which should be light, less meat, less sweet and salty, and eat more fruits and vegetables.
3. When Bichon Frize gets angry, his red eyeliner will become heavier.
