Causes and Treatments for a Dog's Excessive Tears

Section 1: Why Does a Puppy Cry Tears?

1. Excessive tear production in puppies is often due to conditions such as conjunctivitis, keratitis, and eyelashes that turn inward. These issues can lead to a constant flow of tears from a dog's eyes.

2. There might be foreign objects entering the eye, which can stimulate the nerves and cause the eyes to water.

3. In some cases, the food a puppy eats may contain too much salt, which can be too salty for a young dog and trigger tears.

Section 2: A Method to Address a Puppy's Tear Production

It's important to treat the cause of a puppy's tear production appropriately rather than resorting to blind treatments.

1. If the tears are a result of viral or bacterial eye infections, it's crucial to maintain excellent hygiene for the puppy. This includes cleaning the eyes daily, frequent bathing, and keeping the puppy's den clean. If the eyes are severely affected, immediate medical attention is necessary for further treatment.

2. When a foreign object has fallen into the puppy's eye, the simple solution is to remove the object and then disinfect the area.

3. If the tears are due to the high salt content in the puppy's food, it's advisable to reduce the salt in the diet or avoid adding salt altogether. A light, nonsalty diet is better for the puppy's growth, and incorporating more vegetables and fruits into the diet can help supplement vitamins.

A healthy puppy is essential for a joyful companionship. Let's take good care of our puppies' health and wellbeing. May all dogs be strong and healthy in the world!
