You don't have to be an experienced dog owner to recognize your pet's emotions.
If a dog jumps and plays, it means that it is happy, but if it tucks its ears and tail, it means that the animal is afraid or feels ashamed.
A bored pet will immediately rush to greet its owner and will show with its whole appearance that it wants affection, and maybe even take its favorite toy with it.
But what about the expression of an emotion such as sadness, which people usually show through tears?
Although all dogs have tear glands, they produce tears for purely “practical” purposes, such as to moisturize the cornea or cleanse the eyes of impurities.
Dogs can't cry like people.
If the dog is in pain or upset, it will use other methods to express its emotions.
If something upsets your dog, he will most likely turn away from you rather than cry.
Tears in your four-legged friend's eyes are a sign that he needs to be shown to the vet.
The thing is that increased lacrimation indicates a number of diseases, some of which are serious.
Tears may appear due to a foreign object in the eye or an allergic reaction. Sometimes they begin to flow as a result of inflammation of the eyeball, eyelid or cornea.
Only a specialist can examine a pet, make a diagnosis and prescribe treatment.
