Gracie has never had a lot of tearing but some. I switched her to distilled water and saw the tearing disappear within a little over a week. I get the distilled water for 89 cents a gallon at Walmart. On occasion when I have not been able to get to the store and have given her regular water I see the tearing start up within a day.
I suppose it depends on what kind of water you have. I think it is the water sources with a lot of mineral deposits that tend to bother the eyes. I know others say changing the food has helped. I do think that some of the unnecessary things they put in some foods could cause enough stress on the body to cause tearing. Of course there can be other reasons for the problem so seeing a specialist may help. I do know that seeing her pretty eyes without tears in them makes me feel a lot better. |
