I've heard of Angel Eyes but I'm not real keen on that as I've seen reviews online and I don't feel confident in giving it to my puppy. She's only 5 pounds even though she has just turned 2. Plus, is it a powder? She eats dry food. Do I have to wet it? I have also heard of Nuvet. Has anyone else heard of it? I haven't seen any reviews on it but I've read it's a natural drug or pill form. Any thoughts? |
Have you considered changing her diet? If a vet has checked her eyes and has not found any physical reason for the tearing then it could be a reaction to food.
Some people have had success changing to a good natural diet. I have also heard of people who changed to good purified water seeing less tearing.
They do sell little wipes for the dog's eyes to clean the area everyday with and that is important. The build up of moisture does cause a red yeast to start growing on the face where it is damp all the time. Daily cleaning is a must but it is not a solution.
We have Gracie on a good quality raw commercial diet and she drinks either distilled or filtered water. We have no tearing.
