If your dog's eye is watering continuously, it's possible there's an underlying issue that may need veterinary attention.
- Look for additional symptoms like redness, swelling, or discharge.
- Monitor if your dog is pawing at their eye or showing signs of discomfort.
- Check for changes in behavior such as lethargy or loss of appetite.
Excessive tearing can occur due to various causes, including allergies, irritants, infections, or injuries. While it sometimes resolves on its own, persistent tearing can be a sign of something more serious that requires professional evaluation. Timely veterinary consultation can help prevent complications and ensure your pet's well-being.
