Cats and dogs can develop dry eyes due to allergies, weather, and other changes in the environment. For this reason, if your Pomeranian or other canine has frequently red or irritated eyes, give your vet a call to schedule an appointment. Your pup’s eyes could be irritated for a variety of reasons and they will need to be examined by your vet. The medical term for dry eyes in Pomeranians 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. Other breeds that may develop KCS or dry eyes include the American Cocker Spaniel, Bloodhound, Boston terrier, Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, English bull dog, English Springer spaniel, Lhasa apso, Miniature schnauzer, Pekingese, Pug, Samoyed, Shih-tzu, West highland white terrier, and the Yorkshire terrier. Give your veterinarian Frisco TX a call to learn more.
