| Sometimes there is little hairs that poke intheir eyes and make them water worse or make them infected. Make sure there is none of those little hairs n his eyes. Has the vet seen him to r/o any medical reasons? Welcome to YT and congratulations on your new baby! Pictures of him please..... Last edited by genie; 12-11-2007 at 11:19 AM. |

| Baby shampoo or puppy shampoo either one just as long as it is tear free. |
