Treatments for dry eye in dogs:

1. If the dog has dry eye syndrome, it is recommended to use artificial tears for symptomatic treatment.

2. If the dog suffers from dry eye syndrome and infection, it is recommended to treat it with antibiotics.

3. If the dog suffers from dry eye, it is recommended to inject drugs that stimulate tear secretion for treatment.

Causes of Dry Eye in Dogs:

1. The dog's tears can moisten the cornea, wash away foreign matter, and also have enzymes and antibodies to prevent pathogens from entering. When the eyeball loses the infiltration and protection of tears, the cornea may also become thickened and uneven. In severe cases, ulcers or fibrosis may occur, and even blindness may occur.

2. When a dog is infected with a virus (such as canine distemper), it may also cause dry eye syndrome.

3. When the dog takes some drugs, it will also reduce the tear secretion.

4. When the dog's third eyelid is removed, it is also easy to cause dry eye syndrome.

5. Some dog breeds are more prone to dry eye syndrome than others, such as Pekingese and pugs.

6. When the dog is old, it is also prone to insufficient tear secretion, leading to dry eye syndrome.
