Hi, if you do a search you will find a few mentions about this very thing. I have suggested that if a buyer notices that the face of a dog stays wet (really noticable on these white faced Biewers and light-faced Yorkies), when the teeth are cleaned and/or the pup is altered, have the vet flush the naso-lacrimal ducts. Those are the little holes that we can see in the corner of our own eyes next to our nose. They carry our tears down into our nose when we cry, too. That is why our noses run when we shed tears for any reason.
It is really not that uncommon to be told that the top and bottom of the duct has not joined. Sometimes, they are just clogged or have a wee tissue-dam in them and flushing clears them right up.
There are powders that are used for the purpose of drying the coat under the eyes. make sure you keep it as clean as possible and dry as well. IF, you notice a smell there might be an infection..DO NOT use ointments that are not specifically for the EYE and says OPHTHALMIC Oint, drops or cream..
Hope this helps a bit. |
