WildatHeart Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 I asked my vet about this about two and a half weeks ago (while i was there about her spilt paw) when her eyes had just been weeping for two days. The vet just glanced at her eyes and said its nothing. There are still weeping/watering. They are never red, or sore looking or seem to bother her, but what is causing it? I just wipe away her eyes with a cotton ball every morning and night. see photo for better explaination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elfin Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 GSDs don't tend to get many eye issues, aside from pannus and dermoids, neither of which present like your dog. If it is just watery tears and not mucky, it may be an environmental allergy (most likely as it is in both eyes), blocked or "lazy" tear ducts, extra eyelashes (very unlikely) or ectopic cillia (very unlikely). My guess is environmental. Try bathing 3-4 times daily in cool Calendula Tea. Good Luck! :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My pup had the same, he had a tear duct infection which when it started looked like that, I would see an opthamologist to be sure. If i had left it she said it would have been a disaster, as it is my pup was on antibiotics for 20 days... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
becks Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 I would try giving your dog an antihistamine for a few days and see if there is any improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could this still possibly be a tear duct infection if it is affecting both eyes? becks, what could of antihistimine can i use and how much for 30kg?
