The lacrimal glands of Bichon Frise are hyperactive and often shed tears. Therefore, we should check Bichon Frise’s eyes frequently and help Bichon Frise to take care of their eyes in time, which can avoid Bichon Frise’s eye discomfort and effectively avoid related diseases.
When the Bichon Frise suffers from certain infectious diseases (such as Bichon Frise distemper, etc.), especially eye diseases, it often causes redness and swelling of the eyelids, and a lot of mucus or purulent secretions in the corners of the eyes , At this time, the eyes should be carefully treated and cared for. The method is to use a 2% boric acid cotton ball (or cold water) to gently wipe from the inner corner of the eye to the outside. You cannot wipe it back and forth on the eyes. One cotton ball is not enough, you can change another one until the eyes are wiped clean. After scrubbing, put eye drops or ointment in the Bichon Frise’s eyes to eliminate inflammation.
Some Bichon Frises, such as Shar-Pei, often have their eyelashes inverted due to excessive wrinkled skin on the head. The inverted eyelashes can stimulate the eyeballs and cause blurred vision in Bichon Frise. If the conjunctiva is inflamed and the cornea is cloudy, a veterinarian should be asked to perform surgery to cut off part of the eyelid (similar to the double eyelid cosmetic surgery in humans).
The easy way is to pull out the inverted eyelashes with tweezers. The inverted eyelashes of the Shar-Pei are hereditary, so when buying a Shar-Pei Bichon, in addition to finding out its pedigree, it is also necessary to know whether its parents have the disadvantage of inverted eyelashes.
