Shar Pei Eyes

The Chinese Shar-Pei has a unique set of deep-set eyes that tend to often tear.  Tearing is not necessarily a sign of problems or infections but eye problems are common in this breed.  Swollen shut eyes or constant pawing or rubbing of the eyes would be an indication of a problem or infection.  It should be noted that Chinese Shar-Pei’s can be very sensitive and have allergies toward items such as dust, pollen, or cigarette smoke, and can cause the eyes to swell shut.  Tracking the allergen and removing it from the environment will aide in the correction of many eye problems.
