Pay Attention to Your Pet's Eyes

It is normal for your pet to accumulate build-up in the corners of his eyes. This is an animal's natural way of clearing all dust and foreign objects from their sensitive eyes. The animal will then remove the build-up while grooming. If you notice that your pet is continuously tearing, has pus secretions, red eyes, swollen eyelids, or scratches his eyes, you could have a bigger problem. These are symptoms of illness and a vet should be contacted immediately. After examining your pet, the veterinarian will be able to instruct you on proper dog or cat eye care.
