What should I do about severe tear stains on my Bichon Frise?
Severe tear stains in Bichon Frises usually result from tear fluid that can't drain properly and oxidizes into dark stains. Clean the eyes regularly with a dedicated eye wash, keep the diet light, and trim the fur around the eyes. In severe cases, surgery to remove or reposition the tear glands may be considered.
What medicine helps dog tear stains heal faster?
Dog tear stains can stem from a blocked nasolacrimal duct, conjunctivitis or keratitis, and the right treatment depends on the underlying cause. Massaging the tear ducts and using pet eye-care gel help; for inflammation, vet-approved antibiotic eye drops or ointment are used.
How can I eliminate my puppy’s tear stains?
Puppy tear stains can be cleared by improving diet, cleaning and trimming fur, and medication or surgery. First find the cause — blocked tear ducts need opening and regular eye-fur cleaning; too much oil and salt worsens stains, so keep the diet light and encourage water.
Why Does My Cat Have Brown Tear Stains and Eye Discharge?
If a cat's tears are exposed to air they may oxidize and turn brown, so first rinse the eyes with saline solution. If tearing or discharge persists, consider a bacterial or viral infection. When both the eyes and nose produce more discharge and the eyes are red and swollen, herpesvirus infection is likely—take the cat to the vet, and use antiviral medication if the cause is viral.
What medication should I give my dog for eye discharge?
Eye discharge does not always require medication. Excess salt and oil in the diet can cause it, in which case switch to plainer food; a blocked tear duct needs veterinary clearing. For inflamed eyes, use a pet-specific anti-inflammatory eye drop, and if symptoms persist, seek further diagnosis from a vet.
What eye drops should I use for a cat with tearing in one eye?
Tearing in one eye is usually from mechanical irritation, ingrown lashes, injury, conjunctivitis, or keratitis. Flush out irritants like shampoo, hair, or dust with warm water or saline, then use a pet-specific anti-inflammatory eye drop, which usually relieves it quickly. Ingrown lashes need veterinary attention, and persistent tearing should be checked by a vet.
Which dog breeds have wrinkled foreheads?

What Does a Healthy Turtle’s Eye Look Like?
