| How to get rid of dark tears under eyes Rickles gets that brown gook under his eyes and it happens so fast that it is hard for me to get off and he just hates me to do it. Sometimes when he is at the vets they will get it off for me but even when he is groomed they don't get it all off. Is there some secret to it or am I just a bad mommie because he has it? I notice that in all the beautiful photos here that everyone seems to be doing a great job of keeping they dog's under eyes clean. HELP! |

| Warm water (I really wet a wash cloth or cotton ball, And let it drip down his face to really wet it) Then I take a flea comb, and slowly work from the end of the hair up to get it all out. I take the flea comb and comb from the corner of his eye across his eye to really get it all. Then I take peroxicde and warm water...1/2 & 1/2 on a cotton ball. this helps with the stains. I do this every day...The build up it awful if you don't. It takes a few minutes a day, the dog is more comfortable, and the eyes look so much better...I hope this helps.

| This is a daily job if you stay on it, it gets better. But you let it go a few days then it builds up.

| I bought the Angel Eyes powder, opened it but then read how it affects their liver and teeth (on puppies) and was too afraid to use it on Tiffy since she is so small. I wonder what everyone else has to say about it

| Angel Eyes works for any dog but since it can raise ALTs and is a low grade antibiotic, I won't use it on Ellie. Ellie's vet said I could try saline or eye wash (not contact cleaner). This is for runny eyes though (just clear, not red).

| Ellie's vet and I just had this conversation. We both think that anything given low grade may not be the best choice. I like to save antibiotics for if Ellie needs them, not just give them to her for something like tear stains (or runny eyes).

| Because my Pixie is so little and the weather is pretty cold right now, i'm only bathing her about once every 2 weeks...her body keeps pretty clean..but her face needs a bit of work everyday! her eyes tend to run a bit ( causing the boogies!) and around her muzzle where her food, garden rubble lol tend to stick..are the worst bits...I get a small bowl of warm water, sit her on my lap and with my fingers or a small cloth gently wet the problem areas and then gently comb through...for her eye boogies i wet the area thoroughly then gently comb/pull them out...fix her topknot then pat her dry with a towel..or in front of the fire (her fav place!) then i'll give her another quick comb through in the evening...not too much hardwork really!

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I switched recently to distilled water and Pixie's teai=ring and red staining has improved tremendously.
