Irish Setters have tear stain treatments:

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

2. Do eye massage three times a week. On the one hand, it can make the dog feel comfortable and enhance the relationship between the dog and the owner. On the other hand, it can help the nasolacrimal duct to unblock and reduce the appearance of tear marks.

3. Trim the hair around the eyes to prevent the hair from irritating the conjunctiva and causing tears.

4. Use warm water to help the dog wipe around the eyes every day, especially the eye sockets, which are particularly prone to dirt.

5. Some owners ignore the hygiene of the ears when cleaning their dogs. If the ears are not cleaned, there will be stinky, ear mites, etc., which will indirectly aggravate the dog's tear stains.

What causes Irish Setter 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 tear stains in Irish Setter dogs. Some Irish Setter dogs have long-term lack of minerals, etc., 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, Irish Setters are born with more developed lacrimal glands and more secretions around the eyes, so their tear stains will be serious.
