American Cocker Spaniel (Detailed Introduction)

　　Dog dry eye disease, also known as canine keratoconjunctivitis, can be caused by various reasons. Dry eye disease generally does not cause blindness, but in some cases, corneal ulcers or even perforations may occur, eventually leading to retinal degeneration and blindness. So how should we care for dogs with dry eye disease?
　　1. It is essential to frequently clean around the eyes to remove eye discharge and secretions. After a dog is diagnosed with dry eye disease, the most challenging problem is how to manage eye secretions and control eye infections. Keeping the eyes clean is very important. Owners can use saline solution to rinse the dog's eyes, then wipe off the secretions. Before applying eye drops, rinse away the secretions first, then apply the medication for better effect.
　　2. For dogs with dry eye disease, owners must strictly follow the prescriptions of veterinary ophthalmologists to better control the condition.
　　3. Without the consent of a veterinary ophthalmologist, owners must not use human eye drops on their dogs.
　　Many eye drops commonly and effectively used in human ophthalmology are not suitable for animals. Long-term blind use can have side effects and harm the dog's eyes. The causes of dry eye disease and suitable medications differ significantly between humans and animals.
　　Editor's advice: Without permission from a pet doctor, it is best not to randomly apply human eye drops to dogs with dry eye disease. Improper use of eye drops can worsen the dog's condition.
