Bright eyes

Spanish company JT-Pharma operates in 20 countries and now offers JT Tears Off, a product for treating watery eye discharge. This is a common complaint that causes concern among cat and dog owners. "This teary discharge, termed epiphora, is associated with a large number of conditions," the company reports. In most cases, the anatomy of the pet plays a significant part, as some breeds have flat or sunken faces (brachycephalic), which hinder correct tear discharge. This problem was traditionally treated with low doses of antibiotics such as tetracycline or tylosin, although these are not particularly recommended on account of the risk of developing bacterial antibiotic resistance.
JT Tears Off is an effective alternative to the incorrect use or misuse of antibiotics. The product is based on plant extracts and vitamins that modify the pH value of the tear fluid, minimise the flow of tears and prevent epiphora. These also aid tear blockages and prevent reddish-brown discolouration of the hair around the pet's eyes.

Epiphora is usually chronic in most breeds and JT Tears Off is therefore the best alternative for limiting the harmful effects of antibiotics over the entire lifetime of the pet. JT Tears Off is sold in tablet and powder form for oral administration. The powder is recommended for small breeds, which have difficulty in swallowing pills or tablets. The company recommends trimming discoloured hair prior to commencing the treatment, so that the results can be seen more clearly.

JT-Pharma also markets innovative food supplements, a combination of natural ingredients that cover most veterinary medical pathologies. The product portfolio spans a large range of bodily functions and features of pets, such as bones, joints, skin and coat, mouth and teeth, heart, liver, pancreas, kidneys and gut.
According to JT-Pharma, natural food supplements and nutraceuticals offer a host of medical and health benefits. They deliver the basic nutrients for the growth, care and wellbeing of pets as well as treating and preventing some diseases without any side effects.
