Dry Skin Syndrome in Keeshonds

 


Dogs have been known to develop dry eyes due to allergies, weather, or the environment in general. If your Keeshond appears to have red or irritated eyes, give your veterinarian a call. Your Keeshond’s irritated eyes could be from a variety of things in which your vet will need to exam his eyes and possibly run tests.  The medical term for dry eyes in dogs is Keratoconjunctivitis sicca or KCS. Dry eyes can be caused by weather or allergies, but they can also be caused by an immune-mediated disease, systemic diseases such as canine distemper virus, medications, or hypothyroidism. Dry eye can develop in dogs of all breeds, but is especially common in breeds such as the American Cocker Spaniel, Bloodhound, Boston terrier, Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, English bulldog, English Springer spaniel, etc. Consult with your vet Middletown, DE regarding treatment options including medicated eye drops.
