Dogs' tear ducts are often blocked, causing tear stains. If this situation is not treated in time, it may also cause other problems. The following are some simple massage techniques that can help relieve the problem of clogged tear ducts in dogs:
Wet compress with warm water: Soak a clean towel with warm water before massaging, and then gently wipe the tear stains from the corners of the eyes. Wet compresses with warm water can soften tear stones and help clear tear ducts.
Massage around the eyes: Use your index and middle fingers to gently massage the area around the corners of the dog's eyes. When massaging, you can use your fingers to massage in a circular motion from the corners of your eyes outwards.
Knead the bridge of the dog’s nose: Use your index finger and middle finger to gently knead the bridge of the dog’s nose. The direction of kneading is from the tip of the nose upwards, which helps stimulate the drainage of tears.
Massage the neck: Use your palms to massage the dog's neck to stimulate lymph flow and promote smooth drainage of tears.
It should be noted that when massaging, do not use excessive force or be too rough to prevent damage to the dog's eyes. In addition, if the dog's tear duct is seriously blocked, it is recommended to consult a veterinarian for treatment in time.
