What causes excessive tearing and staining?
Staining can be caused by a variety of things:
Clogged or Shallow Tear Ducts:
Studies indicate that 20-25% of small dogs and cats are born with closed of
shallow tear ducts. Tears overflow because there the eyelid space is not
deep enough to contain them
Excessive Tearing:
When the face hair is wet from excessive tearing, it becomes a breeding
ground for bacteria and yeast infections (AKA: Red Yeast, which causes deep
reddish-brown stains); Low grade bacteria infections may also cause
excessive tearing
Cutting Teeth:
May
cause changes in the head & mouth structure of your pet, placing pressure on
the tear ducts
Irritation & Allergies:
Some animals get hair or eyelashes into their eyes causing irritation. Many
breeds are susceptible to allergies. Shampoos and other chemicals can also
irritate their eyes. Some foods cause allergic reactions; animals may also
build an allergic reaction over time to a type of food
Water:
Water with high mineral levels causes staining
Food & Treats:
Diet can play a significant role in tearing. Many commercial foods contain
additives, preservatives and food colouring. This could lead to staining.
Fleas:
Fleas survive in moisture, which they get from the eye or moth area. This
could cause irritation and in addition red stains left behind may be from
flea faeces
These are just a few reasons. There
are MANY more!!
