Dry Eye Syndrome and the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel

Many cavalier King Charles spaniels suffer from a painful genetic disorder called dry eye syndrome (keratitis sicca or keratoconjunctivitis sicca — KCS),  according to the American College of Veterinary Ophthalmologists (ACVO).  Research studies have shown that cavaliers are more pre-disposed to KCS — at a relative risk of 11.5% — than any other breed.
