For example, if dogs often eat heavy-tasting foods, they will get angry; some dogs will play in too dirty places, often get foreign objects in their eyes or are infected, etc., they may have eye conditions and then eye poop. So what can the owner do to help the dog at this time?

1, Light diet

Some owners give their dogs heavy food, eat salty dog ​​food, eat human-flavored meat and vegetables, and even eat braised vegetables or barbecue, etc. These foods are not good for the dog's health, especially for the eyes, which can easily lead to eye problems and eye boredom.

It is recommended that the owner give the dog light food, such as changing to low-fat and low-salt dog food; make simple boiling of meat and vegetables for the dog, do not add too much oil, salt and other seasonings, and let the dog drink more water, place the water where the dog often stays, and guide it to drink more.

Some dogs like to play, drill everywhere on the bottom of the sofa and bed at home; play in the grass or mud, at this time, your eyes are prone to bacteria, dust, etc., and these things fall into your eyes and are not cleaned for a long time. The dog's eyes are prone to inflammation and prone to eye poop.

Owners should educate their dogs not to play in too dirty places, such as under the bed, too dirty corners, mud or too tall grass, etc. They should also observe the dog's eyes frequently. When there are foreign objects, they should be treated in time and rinsed out with eye drops.

3, use eye drops

When the dog's eyes have thick eye poop due to various conditions, the owner should help the dog clean his eyes.

The owner can use a clean disposable tissue, dip it in warm water, gently wipe the dog's eyes, wipe off the eye poop, change a few more tissues to wipe it, and carefully clean the eyes. This process should soothe the dog and not let it move around. After cleaning the surrounding area of ​​the eyes, it should clean the inside of the eyes. But after soothe the dog, let it raise its head and the owner can directly drop the eye drops into the dog's eyes. It is not recommended to use human eye drops for dogs, because human eye drops are developed for humans and are not suitable for dogs.
