My puppy has watery eyes and tear marks. Could it be allergies?

Question

Can dogs have eye allergies? My puppy looks like he cries all the time. There are something like tear marks by his eyes occasionally. Does anyone know what this is? Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Male | unneutered | 4 months and 5 days old | 27 lbs

Yes, allergies can cause excessive tearing. Other causes include obstructed tear ducts and tiny eyelashes rubbing against the cornea (distichiasis). Have Smokey examined by your veterinarian for a diagnosis. The eye should be stained to rule out corneal injury as well. Antihistamines may help allergies, flushing the tear ducts may open them up and having the lashes plucked should decrease tearing.
