Bella couldn't open her eyes last week. The tear stains around her eyes were pretty bad. She had this problem since she was a pup but I always figured it was just tear stain and nothing major. However last week, she had a cornea ulcer due to "dry eye". Your babie might not be producing enough tears and you may have to use artifical tears (eyedrops) for her daily. I suggest going to the vet and having her eyes check. I'm sure her eyes are very irritated. Better to be safe than sorry. I wish I brough Bella in sooner, the ucler was very painful for her.
