Why are my Chihuahua's eyes always watery and tearing excessively?

No this isn't a cold, it is either an injury or a tooth infection, it could also be a face abscess or an allergic reaction. you need to take her to the vet ASAP in order to get it checked and treated.

Hi and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! From the picture it looks a bit like Jack may have had an allergic reaction to something. Seasonal allergies as well as regular environmental allergens can cause such effects. If the inflammation persists more than overnight or worsens, I would definitely consult your veterinarian for a full physical exam to rule out any other underlying issues. I hope this helps!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This could potentially be due to something like a corneal ulcer, conjunctivitis or some form of trauma to the eye. I highly recommend that you have Rocky evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They would be able to take a close look at the eye and recommend any treatments based on how it looks. In the meantime, try to avoid Rocky being able to scratch at the eye to avoid any further injury. Good luck and have a good night!

This presentation is likely to be due to the so called ''cherry eye''. This defect causes the lacrimal gland to prolapse and protrude from the eye as a red fleshy mass. Its resolution is usually surgical but conservative treatment (based on specific eye drops) can be attempted. A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is essential to confirm this clinical suspicion and treat appropriately.

It looks as Boots is suffering from an eye infection, it is relatively common in dogs. you will need to take her to the vet the first chance you get, the vet will check the eyes, if it is indeed a simple eye infection your vet will prescribe an antibiotic eye drops that will probably solve the problem in no time.

If you are noticing puffiness under the eyes, I recommend to have him examined by the veterinarian. This can indicate an allergic reaction, an abscessed tooth or an eye infection. Best to play it safe with little Pumpkin.

Hi there and thanks for your posting! Watery eyes can be a sign of an environmental allergy like pollen or dust or just caused by excessive hair growth around the eyes leading to eye irritation. You may want to try an prescription antihistimine to see if that helps at all. Diseases of the tear duct, like a tear duct blockage can also cause excessive watery eyes.
