Tear Duct Blockage in Corgis

 

A dog’s eyes are a delicate part of his anatomy and keeping them clean and healthy is part of his overall wellness. If your Corgi appears to have irritated, watery or swollen eyes call your vet to schedule a checkup. In some cases, your dogs’ eyes may be watery or give off a green or yellow discharge if there is debris in the eye, a scratch in the eye, or even damage to the tear ducts. Your vet will need to examine your Corgi’s eyes to determine the exact cause of the eye irritation or discharge. If it’s related to the tear ducts then they may be blocked. Epiphora is the medical term given when a dog’s tears do not drain correctly through the tear ducts. It is often a symptom of an underlying condition. Typical breeds that experience tear duct related issues include Shih-tzu, Pekingese, Maltese, etc. It has also been seen in Corgis. Learn more from your veterinarian Raleigh NC.
