What should I do if my Yorkie has severe tear stains? If your Yorkie has tear stains, you should pay attention to check whether there is inflammation. If it is serious, you should seek medical treatment in time. You should trim the hair around the eyes of your Yorkshire terrier frequently to avoid irritating the eyes and causing tear stains. Clean your Yorkshire terrier's eye feces every day. Use eye drops to sterilize and disinfect after washing.

1. Timely treatment

Pay attention to the changes in Yorkshire's eyes, such as whether the eyes are moist, whether there is congestion in the eyes, conjunctiva and cornea, whether there are any scratches on the eyes or the amount of secretions that dogs usually have. If any abnormalities occur, seek medical treatment in time and follow the doctor's instructions for treatment.

 2. Trim eye hair

One of the reasons why Yorkshire terriers have tear stains is that too long eye hair irritates the eyes and the hair intrudes upside down, causing tears to form tear stains. Therefore, pet owners should regularly trim the hair around the Yorkshire terrier's eyes to avoid letting the hair be too long and irritating. The eyes or eyes can be placed upside down, which can reduce the tear stains of the Yorkie and make the Yorkie look more energetic.

 3. Cleaning and care

Help your Yorkie clean its eyes every day, remove eye mucus, etc. Pay special attention to the eye sockets, which are prone to harbor dirt and evil. If your eyes are too dry or have a lot of secretion, you can use artificial tears or saline to rinse and clean them. After washing, you can put eye drops on them for sterilization and disinfection. Eye massage for Yorkies three times a week can effectively help clear the nasolacrimal ducts and reduce the appearance of tears.

4. Drink more water

A Yorkie who drinks little water will easily get angry, and when it gets angry, there will be eye mucus and the like. Therefore, the pet owner should give the Yorkie more water. For dogs that don’t like to drink water, pet owners can give them some small amounts of water. Snacks induce dogs. Dogs who eat will naturally fall in love with drinking water, but be careful not to feed too many snacks.
