Maltese dog (details)
Canine dry eye disease can not be seen in a short period of time, but it is very easy to affect the dog's vision if it is not treated in time.
1. Tear stimulants to improve lacrimal gland function
In the treatment of dry eye in dogs, the most important drugs are eye-point drugs that promote the improvement of lacrimal gland function.
2. Tear substitutes (artificial tears)
Normal tears have multiple functions such as cleaning the eyes, protecting and moisturizing the cornea.
1. No preservatives: Generally, the preservatives in bottled eye drops are toxic, and have a great impact on the eyes of dry eyes, because the eyes cannot be washed to remove the preservatives.
2. Good comfort: the ingredients that are too sticky or easy to cause allergies will cause some animals' eyes to be uncomfortable.
3. Long-lasting protection and moisturizing of the cornea: Many artificial tear products, after being put into the eyes of dogs, will drain and drain very quickly. Unless the eyes can be applied frequently every hour, the effect and significance of protecting and moisturizing the cornea will be ineffective.
3. Antibiotics
For animals suffering from dry eye, it is necessary to use topical ophthalmic broad-spectrum antibiotics to reduce the occurrence of eye discharge and infection.
