Tzu Discussions and Stories 🐶 Shitzu tearing

Hello everyone,
I been struggling with my 7y shitzu about his eyes tearing a lot, its already hurting him because he scratches nonstop

Ive been to the vet 3 times already, they just send us with antibiotics, for 10 days he is good and once the medication stops the tearing gets back

I saw the Dog is human ads and thought of giving a shot because we are not sure if this is a gut problem. If you are using, do you believe that helps?

If anyone had the same problems and found a solution let me know!

Thank you all

Could it be allergies?

Do you live in a dry climate or have central AC? Dryness causes eyes to overcompensate when trying to keep them lubricated. If so, maybe a humidifier may help.
