Treatment for severe tear stains in Shih Tzu dogs:

1. When the Shih Tzu has tear stains, you should first take the Shih Tzu to the hospital for relevant examinations, and after excluding the possibility of the disease, take appropriate family care at home.

2. It may be affected by the diet. The owner should pay attention to putting away his own food at ordinary times. It is enough not to let the Shih Tzu have the ability to steal food, and do not feed the dog this kind of food.

3. Use warm water to help the Shih Tzu dog wipe around the eyes every day, especially the eye sockets, which are particularly easy to hide dirt.

4. Some owners ignore the hygiene of the ears when cleaning the Shih Tzu. If the ears are not cleaned, there will be stinky, ear mites, etc., which will indirectly aggravate the tear stains of the Shih Tzu dog.

What causes Shih Tzu tear stains:

1. It may be that there is too much salt or vitamin deficiency in the dog's diet, especially if the dog is fed with commercial food, the tear marks are more obvious.

2. Getting angry can also cause tears in Shih Tzu dogs. Some Shih Tzus lack minerals for a long time, which will cause them to get angry, and then there will be abnormal secretion of lacrimal glands, resulting in severe tear stains.

3. In addition, Shih Tzu dogs are born with more developed lacrimal glands and more secretions around the eyes, so their tear stains will be serious.
