Dogs periodically develop brown discharge in the corners of their eyes, which are called tear stains.
In some cases, they can form not even spots, but a whole crust. Let's try to figure out how to clean them and how to do it correctly.
Why do tear stains appear?
Nothing unusual, just a banal physiological process.
It is believed that due to the peculiarities of their structure, dogs with flat muzzles do not suffer as much from fluid secretion.
Discharge is most noticeable in dogs with light-colored fur.
How to clean
It is enough to use a cotton pad or napkin moistened with warm water.
Dirt is wiped off carefully so as not to cause harm.
How often to clean
Formations near the dog's eyes do not cause any concern. However, if you have to clean them more than 1-2 times a week, it makes sense to seek help from a veterinarian.
Excessive secretion of tears and their accumulation near the eyes may indicate health problems.
This could be due to an infection, allergy or other irritation, dry air or other causes.
However, only a veterinarian can make a diagnosis and prescribe treatment.
