• I have King Charles Cavalier Spaniel. When he has tears on his face, they have a very bad odor. What is the cause of this and what can be done so this doesn't keep occurring or at least I can manage this for my dog.

    Hi Sergio,
    I recommend that you take your pet into see a veterinarian. A bad odor with the tears is concerning and can be a sign of an underlying eye of skin issue. Your vet can talk to you more about the cause of the tears and the odor after they have examined him. The treatment that he needs will depend on the underlying cause of both the tearing and the odor.

Need more information or advice?
