Whatever the breed, dogs have a particular sensitivity at the level of the eyes and this organ requires daily attention. Therefore, it is important to clean your eyes regularly.
In small breeds, the tear ducts of the dog's eyes are blocked frequently, which causes a flow of tears in the corner of the eye.
The care that can be given to the eyes of the dog will be external and, therefore, will only touch the following structures: cornea, conjunctiva, angles of the eyes.
1. Cleaning the dog's eyes.
The products that are used to wash the eyes of the dog are only eye wash lotions specific to dogs or physiological saline solution (in a single pod, and this can be transported and maintained very easily).
The eye should be cleaned every day with a compress soaked in an antiseptic eye and not cotton, as it leaves filaments on the eyelashes.
To clean an eye, move from the inner corner (towards the nose) to the outer corner (toward the temple) to prevent dirt from returning to view.
In case of infection conjunctivitis type, a cleaning is necessary before the application of the treatment, since the action of the active principle of the drug will be accentuated with the previous cleaning. The instillation of eye drops in a dirty eye greatly reduces the effectiveness of the treatment.
For the regular hygiene of your pet's eyes, use a product designed for him or her, since you will not have any risk of irritation.
