Teary eyes

Post by isonychia » Mon Aug 27, 2012 1:00 pm

My brit has had some teary eyes on and off (mostly on) for about a month now, going to try terramyiacin(sp?) and will take her to the vet if that doesn't work. Eyes are not red and discharge is clear, but sometimes I'll catch my dog pawing at his eyes, everything else seems to be normal. Anyone have much experience with this in brittanys?

Check for dirt under the lower skin below the eye. Many dogs have loose skin there that lets them catch dirt and other irritants that will make the eyes water. That's one of the faults we look for in the conformation arena.

It's not how many breaths you have taken but how many times it has been taken away!

Has anyone noticed common sense isn't very common anymore.

Could also be allergies. My pup has flair ups every now and then.
