The reasons why Bichons have tear stains:

1. Eyelids are ectropion (inverted eyelashes). If the owner finds that the Bichon Frize often scratches its eyes with its front paws, it is necessary to pay attention to whether the cause of the eyelids is ectropion (inverted eyelashes). Continuous irritation of the cornea by the eyelashes will make the dog's eyes uncomfortable and cause tears, leading to serious tear stains. Some can be treated through surgery. If surgery is not possible, the dog's inverted eyelashes must be removed regularly to ensure the health of the dog's eyes.

2. Eye inflammation, redness and swelling. Eye inflammation, redness and swelling will also aggravate tear stains. When inflammation occurs, you can clean the eyes with a wet towel and give your dog eye drops twice a day to kill bacteria and reduce inflammation. However, if the inflammation is severe, it is best to see a doctor.

3. The owner uses the wrong eye product. Many owners will buy products to treat tear stains on their own, but some products may not be suitable for Bichon Frize and may actually worsen the tear duct obstruction.

4. The hair around the eyes is too long. Hair that is too long may poke into the eyes, causing the dog to cry, which will naturally form tear stains over time.

5. Ear mites. Once ear mites breed, they can irritate the ears, cause ear canal infections, and can also cause tear stains.

6. The dog gets angry. Getting angry will aggravate the red eyeliner and form obvious tear stains. The owner can observe whether the dog has symptoms of yellow urine. If so, the owner needs to relieve the dog's anger.

7. The oil and salt content of food is too high. Too much oil and salt content in food is one of the important reasons for aggravation of tear stains. Excessive salt content will increase the secretion of tear stains in dogs, thereby aggravating tear stains.

Methods to improve tear stains in Bichon Frize:

1. Follow the doctor’s instructions carefully and listen to the doctor’s advice to choose appropriate eye drops.

2. Cleaning the eye area is helpful to reduce the phenomenon of tears. The owner can use cotton swabs to wipe the red secretions around the eyes every day and comb the hair around the eyes. However, this method is not necessarily suitable for all dogs. . Some Bichon Frize dogs have severe obstruction of tear ducts due to genetic factors. For this situation, even if you persist every day, it can only play a role in controlling it.

3. The owner can massage the canthus of the dog’s eyes. After using the eye drops, massaging the canthus of the dog’s eyes can help the medicine take effect better.

4. Owners should pay attention to adjusting the dog's diet. The overall diet should be light, less meat, less sweet and salty, and eat more fruits and vegetables.
